This comes as HDB announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/raised-income-ceiling-and-enhanced-housing-grant-for-hdb-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new changes to the income ceiling for BTO flats<\/a>, along with an enhanced housing grant for buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For families, the previous income ceiling was $12,000 for buying a BTO flat, and $14,000 for Executive Condominiums (ECs). With the revisions, the income ceiling will be $14,000 for BTO flats, and $16,000 for ECs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, for singles aged 35 and above, the income ceiling will be raised from $6,000 to $7,000. The income ceiling was last raised in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s all fine and dandy for home buyers, some are wondering if the higher income ceiling will siphon off demand for mass market condominiums, especially given the increased supply in project launches this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Will a higher income ceiling for HDB homes affect the private housing market?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27725 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade.jpg\" alt=\"riverfront residences is a competitively-priced private condominium to live in or for investment\" width=\"750\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-544x306.jpg 544w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-352x198.jpg 352w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-512x288.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-256x144.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/99co-riverfront-residences-private-condominium-facade-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short answer is, unlikely. While more Singaporeans can now purchase a BTO flat or one from the resale market, the adjustments in income ceilings are relatively marginal, and may not bring about significant impact to the housing market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, if you have your sights set on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/sale?listing_type=sale&amp;query_coords=1.3039947%2C103.8298507&amp;query_type=city&amp;show_future_mrts=true&amp;zoom=11&amp;radius_max=1000&amp;query_limit=radius&amp;price_min=1500000&amp;property_segments=residential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1.5 million condo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a budget to match, a raise in income ceiling for HDB flat purchases will unlikely put you off the decision. Besides, private properties will continue to be seen as an attractive investment class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Mr. Alan Cheong, Executive Director for Research at Savills Singapore puts it: \u201cThe market holds the belief that private property is still a superior long term investment and status symbol.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given these factors, we believe that demand for the asset class is not likely to be affected by HDB policy changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, OrangeTee &amp; Tie\u2019s head of research and consultancy, Christine Sun believes that the revised income ceiling could have a positive impact on the private housing market. This comes with the increased accessibility and potentially higher demand for resale flats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe larger pool of buyers could allow more existing HDB flat owners to upgrade to a private condo in time to come,\u201d says Sun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>HDB Resale Market The Biggest Winner<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/HDB-exterior-overview.jpg\" alt=\"HDB in singapore showing the exterior and corridors\" width=\"750\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/HDB-exterior-overview.jpg 6016w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/HDB-exterior-overview-1440x550.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the condo segment is unlikely to be affected, market observers think that the HDB resale market would be the biggest beneficiary of the new policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/5-things-to-know-about-the-new-hdb-loan-and-cpf-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent CPF changes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saw an increase in demand for older flats in Q2 2019.

The previous SHG was only applicable for non-mature estates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHowever, many buyers still prefer BTO flats because of the perception of newness and potential profits to be made in the future,\u201d says Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of the new HDB policy changes?
