Cheap home deals spiked in July........ 
While CCR homes languished. Mass-market home deals dominated the residential sales market in July, bolstered by the launch of the attractively-priced High Park Residences. This chart from Barclays shows that transactions with price tags below $1000 per square foot spiked in July. High Park Residences sold a total of 1,169 units at a median price of $989 psf. Other notable deals included continued sales at Botanique at Bartley, where units went for a median price of $1,282 psf. The high-end property market continued to languish in July, although sales increased 24% month-on-month to 61 units. The top seller in the Core Central Region was Leedon Residence, which sold 14 units at a media price of $1,878 psf. |

The opposite story for Singapore property........Yuan has depreciated......China stocks got beaten down.......China buyers will they stay? Developers are still hoping for easing....... It will take over 12 years to clear Singapore&rsquo s massive private home backlog: analysts............ 
There&rsquo s no hope even if take-up rates double. Private residential homes in Singapore are simply not selling fast enough to clear off the large numbe of unsold inventory. With more projects slated for completion in coming quarters, analysts at Savills warn that it will take well over 12 years to clear the inventory of unsold units in projects which are currently under development. &ldquo Adopting CCR&rsquo s average monthly sales for the period January to May 2015, and assuming that there will be no further Government Land Sales (GLS), it will take about 12 years to clear the inventory of unsold units in projects under development now,&rdquo Savills said. The situation becomes even more dire away from the central region, Savills said. This is because the GLS programme is usually focused in the RCR and OCR. &ldquo The time to clear the stock of present and future unsold units will be more than 12 years. Therefore, even if island-wide take-up rates double, it will take well over five years to sell down the inventory,&rdquo Savills noted. Although demand is expected to pick up in the near future, it does not necessarily mean that normality has returned to the property market. &ldquo The broad brush measures have merely made the smaller units more affordable to local buyers whereas larger units and those with a high price quantum, mainly those projects in the CCR, are not selling fast enough to clear off the unsold inventory. Lowering prices further would not be a panacea to increase demand because much of the unsold stock are larger units, which, because of the larger price quantum and the various cooling measures, are beyond the reach of many locals and permanent residents,&rdquo Savills said. |

Third straight monthly rise in China new home prices China' s all-important property sector may be finally bottoming out after a year-long slump, with official data on Tuesday showing monthly home prices climbed for a third straight month in July. Nationwide new home prices rose 0.3 percent on month in July, versus a 0.4 percent gain in June and May' s 0.2 percent rise. On an annual basis, July prices fell 3.7 percent, compared to the previous month' s 4.9 percent slide, indicating the market could be in the nascent stage of a recovery. The nationwide house price index is a weighted average calculated by Reuters, based on data from China' s National Bureau of Statistics. Once red hot, real estate prices dropped sharply from April 2014 to May 2015 amid oversupply and cooling demand, helping push economic growth to a six-year low in the first three months of the year. The home-building sector, including related industries such as steel and cement, contributes 25-30 percent to gross domestic product (GDP). China has a two-speed real-estate market, where home demand in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen is recovering, while high inventory levels plague lower-tier cities. But as monetary stimulus kicks in, the overall market is showing signs of life again. China' s central bank has cut interest rates four times since late last year, on top of measures including reserve requirement cuts for banks, lower down-payment levels and bigger tax break for home buyers. More fiscal and monetary policies are widely expected in order to fend off a renewed slowdown. But analysts remain cautious. Structurally, the market is still going down due to supply-demand differences between big and small cities but government policies have helped the market bottom out in the near-term, Du Jinsong, head of Asia property Research at Credit Suisse, told CNBC on Tuesday. " Going forward, how many more rate cuts can we have? In cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai, banks are tightening mortgage lending because home prices surged a lot, and we also have new housing purchase restrictions," said Edison Bian, head of China property at UOB Kay Hian, referring to home purchase restriction (HPR) measures in Beijing announced on Friday that require residents to have three years of local working experience before buying a second home in the Tongzhou district. Bracing for a weaker yuanA landmark decision to devalue the renminbi triggered initial capital flights out of Chinese property, but that trend is unlikely to last in the long-term. The People' s Bank of China (PBoC) devalued its currency by 1.9 percent against the greenback on August 11, sparking fears of excessive yuan declines. A free-falling currency typically sends worried investors rushing to park their money into offshore property hubs such as the U.S. and Australia. But following the central bank' s re-assurance last week that it won' t allow dramatic depreciation, experts say a weaker yuan may not have a big impact on the property market. Rick Sharga, executive vice president at real estate sales service Auction.com, told CNBC on Friday that while Chinese purchases of U.S. real estate did initially spike following the devaluation announcement, he did not expect it to continue unless the yuan significantly depreciated further. The currency lost around 3 percent against the U.S. dollar since August 11, and was little changed at 6.3936 on Tuesday. " A number of empirical market studies suggest that local currency depreciation against the major international currencies, such as the U.S. dollar and British pound does not necessarily lead to a downturn in the real estate market," Colliers International said in a report on Monday, referring to historical examples in Japan and Australia. Moreover, currency depreciation won' t alter the market' s fundamental issue of oversupply, Colliers added. But it' s a different story for property developers. A large portion of the U.S. dollar debt outstanding in China' s private business sector has been issued by real estate companies and property developers, Credit Suisse noted in a recent report. " The principle payment on this debt has just increase by 3-4 percent and may be a headwind for real-estate projects." Indeed, the renminbi' s devaluation adds pressure to developers' projects, as well as their U.S. dollar denominated borrowings: they have to pay more renminbi to cover for higher financing costs, Bian of UOB Kay Hian noted. On the bright side, the pain may be short-lived. " I believe the devaluation will likely be a short-term issue for developers. For example, China Vanke has 20 percent of dollar-denominated debt, so the yuan devaluation could cut Vanke' s earnings by 5 percent, but that will be a one-off," Dennis Yao, property and healthcare sector analyst at GF Securities Hong Kong Brokerage, told CNBC on Friday. On Sunday, Vanke&mdash the mainland' s largest property developer&mdash reported a 0.8 percent rise in net profit for the January-June period. " But in the absolute worst scenario, further currency depreciation could cut earnings of developers by 20-30 percent," Yao warned. |

going off with some Cooling........ Singapore govt says watching housing market amid &lsquo correction&rsquo SINGAPORE (Aug 14): Singapore is closely watching the domestic housing market that&rsquo s in a correction phase amid the longest decline in 13 years, according to Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam. The government has sought to temper the market after home prices experienced five to six years of a &ldquo sharp up-cycle,&rdquo he said at an Economic Society of Singapore event on Friday. Residential-property sales slumped 42% in June from May to the lowest level this year, official data last month showed. &ldquo We went about it in a very determined way in the past four years,&rdquo Shanmugaratnam said of measures to cool prices. &ldquo We&rsquo ve succeeded in tempering the market, it&rsquo s now in a phase of correction. But we&rsquo re still watching it very closely.&rdquo Singapore home prices have fallen for seven consecutive quarters through June as tighter mortgage curbs cooled demand in Asia&rsquo s second-most expensive housing market. The ruling People&rsquo s Action Party is preparing for general elections that are expected to be called soon. &ldquo Housing is critical, a unique part of the Singapore story,&rdquo said Shanmugaratnam, who&rsquo s also a deputy prime minister. &ldquo The Asian markets always go through these cycles in the property market, and you&rsquo ve got to do something to temper it.&rdquo The government started introducing residential-property curbs in 2009. Measures to combat low interest rates, which drew demand from foreign buyers, have accelerated since to include a cap on debt repayment at 60% of a borrower&rsquo s monthly income and higher stamp duties on home purchases |

Fed leaves interest rates unchanged With Wall Street looking for any clues that tighter policy is coming, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday declined to raise interest rates or provide any clues about when a hike is on the way. In a move widely expected on Wall Street, the U.S. central bank' s Open Market Committee kept its key funds rate near zero. There had been some anticipation the FOMC would provide at least few code words indicating that it was ready to move, but there was scant evidence in the post-meeting statement. Market reaction was generally positive though not decisively so. " On the margins it was very upbeat on the economy, much more so than I think is warranted&mdash a little too liberal with the use of the term ' transitory' with respect to commodity prices," said Greg Peters, senior investment officer at Prudential Fixed Income. " I viewed it as slightly more hawkish than anything else." The Fed characterized economic growth as moderate but said inflation indicators " remain low." The committee noted that " business fixed investment and net exports stayed soft." However, the FOMC characterized job gains as " solid," something the market interpreted as perhaps hawkish for the future of rate hikes and keeping September in play for a move. " The Fed did not put itself in a position where it had to hike at the next meeting," Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG, said in a note. " There is plenty of time between now and the September meeting for FOMC officials to prepare markets for a September hike."  Futures traders, though, slashed their bets on September, dropping the chance from 19 percent to zero, according to the CME Group' s FedWatch tracker. As things stand, it gives both the Fed two more months to weight the data on which it professes to be dependent for its next move, and for the markets to stress over what the Fed will do. " It' s just 25 basis points and I think it' s important to put it into perspective," said Anika Khan, senior economist at Wells Fargo. " Of course the Fed will still be very much accommodative. If we look at the Fed' s balance sheet, that continues to be at an unprecedented high level and so that means the Fed is still going to be accommodative The Fed had not raised interest rates in more than nine years and had been keeping its key funds rate near zero since late 2008, in an effort to breathe life back into an economy suffocated during the financial crisis and the accompanying Great Recession. In addition to keeping rates low, it had instituted three rounds of quantitative easing, a monthly bond-buying program that pushed its balance sheet to $4.5 trillion and helped drive a 210 percent gain in the S& P 500 stock market index. In the interim, the Fed had been looking for signs that the jobs market reached full employment and the economy was generating positive inflation. Though the inflation pace remains tepid, the unemployment rate has dropped to 5.3 percent and recently there have been signs of wage pressures. Market participants do not expect a rate hike until December, with a 57 percent chance, up slightly from 55 percent prior to the Fed announcement. The likelihood that the Fed would spring a surprise on the market appears remote to most observers. " We' ve been at zero for so long. We' re just entering kind of a new phase and nobody' s sure how investors are going to react," said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist for Northern Trust who formerly led a risk analysis team for the Fed. " If the Fed springs a surprise, then their chance of keeping things in good order are diminished." There were no dissenters to Wednesday' s statement. |

Fed statement may bring more volatility than expected...... No matter how much it tries to avoid it, the Fed could get markets spinning on a fresh round of rate hike speculation Wednesday. The Federal Open Market Committee ends its two-day meeting Wednesday afternoon, and is expected to release a statement that should be short on clues as to when the central bank could raise interest rates. The meeting should also be the last in a while where a Fed rate increase is not seen as at least a possibility.
