In fact, they are predicting that housing prices can double by 2030 or, in a bear scenario, 2034. But how true is all this, given the recent cooling measures? <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s the big prediction?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Morgan Stanley report that we have on hand predicts home prices rising by 10% by the end of 2019:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/singapore-property-prices-2019-chart-morgan-stanley.png\" alt=\"Singapore property prices 2019 chart Morgan Stanley\" width=\"520\" height=\"296\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the latest round of cooling measures and an environment of rising interest rates, we think home prices can continue to rise another 10% by end 2019. Home prices rose in four of the last five rate hike cycles, underpinned by healthy economic growth. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018\/19. we expect interest rates to rise, but also expect the economy to expand 3.6% in 2018 and 3.3% in 2019, which is currently above consensus. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, we anticipate a wave of capital inflows into the housing market from en bloc beneficiaries and Housing Development Board (HDB) upgraders, while housing supply is still below historical average and set to fall<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report also addresses Morgan Stanley\u2019s previous prediction, before the last cooling measure. They\u2019re still fairly confident of home prices doubling by 2030, or 2034 in a bear scenario:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, we argue that residential property as an asset class in Singapore remains attractive, and we expect home prices to double by 2030, as Singapore&#8217;s economy continues to outperform DM peers over the medium term<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now is all this just hot air, or could it really happen?\u00a0Combing through the report, Morgan Stanley identifies a few key drivers behind their prediction. Here\u2019s where we have certain doubts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b>&#8220;The return of high-skilled workers to raise housing demand&#8221;<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/singapore-property-prices-hou.png\" alt=\"Singapore property prices resident households chart\" width=\"522\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe expect a rising household formation rate, driven by singles, and shifting profile of foreign labour towards higher-skilled workers to continue to drive housing demand, and help to offset slower headline population growth.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t dispute that household formation continues to grow, although 2.1% year-on-year (from the same report) is nothing particularly explosive. We\u2019re not so sure about higher-skilled workers coming back to drive housing demand though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Ministry of Manpower, the number of foreign professionals on Employment Pass\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/documents-and-publications\/foreign-workforce-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fell to 187,700 last year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from 192,300 in 2016. In fact, last year we saw <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/economic-lift-boosted-job-opportunities-for-locals-mom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the biggest drop in foreign workers in 15 years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (and the number of EP workers also fell by 4,500). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That the number of S-Pass holders has risen isn\u2019t too meaningful. We hate to sound snobbish, but the fact is EP workers are the ones more likely to, say, rent a condo or buy a property here in Singapore. Lower skilled workers generally don\u2019t make enough to buy housing in Singapore, especially given the Additional Buyers Stamp Duty (ABSD). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some will probably point to the fact that, despite all this, the number of foreign buyers <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">did <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rise last year. But that was due to a flood of Chinese National buyers (who were reacting to certain domestic policies in China); and even then, these buyers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstimes.com.sg\/hub-projects\/property-2018-march-issue\/return-of-foreign-buyers-to-spore-property-scene\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only rose 31.9%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as opposed to tripling like they did back in 2009. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, while we agree foreign buyers are returning to Singapore, we don\u2019t think it\u2019s happening at the pace predicted. The surge in Chinese National buyers last year should be discounted as a one-off event; striking 4D this month can\u2019t be taken as an accurate reflection of your overall income rising. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also need to consider the state of the global economy, which is still tense. As long as the US and UK want to retain a protectionist stance (trade wars and Brexit, respectively), foreign investors might be more guarded about their investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><b>&#8220;Singapore\u2019s awesome economy will sustain our property habit&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/singapore-property-market-economy-growth.png\" alt=\"Singapore property market economic growth\" width=\"518\" height=\"377\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe expect Singapore&#8217;s economy to continue to outperform other advanced economies over the medium term \u2013 hence supporting income growth and consequently housing demand.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not economists, but that sounds very optimistic to us \u2013 especially given that our government is warning of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstimes.com.sg\/government-economy\/singapore-warns-of-significant-impact-should-trade-war-escalate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential trouble ahead<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s true that Singapore\u2019s growth has outpaced many developed economies, at over 3% (most developed economies are managing 2.3% on average right now). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using driving as an analogy, that\u2019s a little like staring at your speedometer instead of at the road. It\u2019s also important to look up from the number, and see what lies ahead:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore is an export economy, and we\u2019ve made our wealth on global trade. The US and China are now locked in a trade war, and the world\u2019s biggest economy also seems to be embracing protectionism (bigly). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We guess that, if nothing goes wrong, Singaporeans <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all get richer and afford more houses. But we also remember the last time big banks assured us everything was fine, it was just before 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;New HDB measures will propel demand for private property&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/singapore-property-prices-hdb-upgrader.png\" alt=\"Singapore property prices HDB upgrader\" width=\"518\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley&#8217;s argument is that the new public housing initiatives (HIP II and VERS) announced by policymakers will boost HDB resale prices. As if this doesn&#8217;t raise enough eyebrows, they went on to state this:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We believe that this in turn supports our thesis of sustained private housing price appreciation. Over the longer run, VERS helps even the pace of redeveloping HDB estates that reach the 99-year mark, which helps to stabilise supply and (in our view) the outlook for price appreciation.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not only is this putting the horse before the cart, Morgan Stanley went one step further, arguing that because HDB upgraders comprise nearly half of private home sales, the boosting of HDB resale prices will drive private property prices up. <strong>Perhaps because it could&#8217;ve been put together by outsiders unfamiliar with the Singapore context, the Morgan Stanley report has conveniently neglected to mention: How the HDB resale market has been stagnant for years; the concern over HDB lease decay among Singaporeans on the ground; the fundamental change in how a HDB resale flat is bought and sold following the scrapping of the Cash-over-Valuation (COV) system in 2014 \u2014 all factors that suppress HDB resale transaction prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our take is that HDB flat owners are going to find it harder and harder to upgrade to condos, given the increasing price differential. Given this, we&#8217;re not fully comfortable with Morgan Stanley&#8217;s assumption.<\/p>\n<h3><b>These sticking points aside, a 10% jump in private property prices in Singapore next year might still be possible.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 10% rise by end-2019 isn\u2019t really far-fetched, considering what we\u2019ve seen this year. Consider how quickly prices skyrocketed, before the last cooling measure: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), median home prices in the first two quarters of this year were around $1,319 psf. This is close to the last peak, which was in 2013. However, prices had previously fallen by around 11% from the last peak in 2013, before the accelerated pick-up from late 2017 onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the span of less than a year, we saw a rebound of almost 10% \u2014 and it would have kept going if the government hadn\u2019t intervened. Our property market has shown us that these jumps are possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>However, this still hinges on two main conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first is that the overall economy remains strong. Singapore can\u2019t be too badly affected by trade tensions \u2014 and overseas, foreign investors need to stay calm about US protectionism (if they get too wary, they might take a \u201cwait and see\u201d approach, and put a brake on investing in our properties as well).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, our government has constantly expressed a desire to keep home prices manageable. If they imposed measures because we saw a near 10% jump this year, why would we be sure they\u2019d let it happen in 2019? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we\u2019d yes to the possibility of it happening, as it would have happened <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this year <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had the government simply let it. But we\u2019re not confident that prices can continue to rise, without further policy intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Is the Morgan Stanley report on the Singapore property market credible?
