Is he right, or is this just the usual developer complaints about policy? Here&#8217;s the quickie explanation so you can make up your own mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-this-absd-for-developers-anyway\">What is this &#8220;ABSD for developers&#8221; anyway?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-24606\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Taxes-ABSD.jpg\" alt=\"Taxes chasing a man with a money bag\" class=\"wp-image-24606\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>Developers who fail to meet the five-year deadline end up paying the 30 per cent ABSD (plus interest)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Additional Buyers Stamp Duty (ABSD) applies to developers, when they buy land to build a new project. This is 30% of the land price, of which they can get back 25% <em>if they complete and sell everything within five years<\/em>. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iras.gov.sg\/taxes\/stamp-duty\/for-property\/appeals-refunds-reliefs-and-remissions\/common-stamp-duty-remissions-and-reliefs-for-property\/sites-for-development-of-five-or-more-residential-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check out more details<\/a> on the IRAS website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t just done to torment developers, although that&#8217;s definitely the impression some of them have. The government imposed the ABSD to prevent land hoarding (that&#8217;s when developers purposely hold back launches, to create artificial housing scarcity and drive home prices up.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-could-this-worsen-the-current-supply-glut\">How could this worsen the current supply glut?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the short time limit, developers have to rush to put new projects on the market. This is especially true for mega-projects, such as those with 1,000 or more units (note that developers have the same five years to complete and sell everything, regardless of the project size.)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-22300\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Property-agent.jpg\" alt=\"property-agent\" class=\"wp-image-22300\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Property-agent.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Property-agent-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Property-agent-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Property-agent-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/><figcaption>Due to the ABSD, developers may not hold back launches even in spite of oversupply<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This results in launches taking place even when they normally wouldn&#8217;t. Take the current oversupply: we had a supply overhang of 31,948 units as of 30th September this year, and that number of homes is expected to take four years to clear. Also, there were 4,377 unsold units from launches in Q3 this year (excluding Executive Condominiums). While not a large number in itself, it&#8217;s around <strong>101% more<\/strong> than the number we saw in Q3 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But rather than hold back because of this, developers <em>still<\/em> need to go full speed ahead with new launches. The 30% ABSD means its still less painful for them to launch in a bad time, than to pay the penalty. As such, the ABSD deadline can worsen oversupply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-this-good-or-bad-for-us\">Is this good or bad for us?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For home buyers, the oversupply (and the ABSD deadline) works in their favour. While it&#8217;s unlikely to cause prices to fall (because developers already paid a given price for the land), it does slow the pace of price increases. You can probably see how, on the flip side, the oversupply is bad for sellers, who hope for their properties to appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oversupply also dims hopes, for those desiring an en-bloc. Collective sales are less likely in a situation where there&#8217;s already oversupply. More importantly, the five-year ABSD time limit is unchanged despite the size of the development. Think about it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you face a five-year time limit, which are you more willing to try to develop and sell: a project with 300 units and smaller facilities, or a 1,000+ unit mega-project with huge landscaped areas, multiple pools, more foundations needed, etc.?\u00a0The ABSD deadline inclines many developers toward smaller projects, which reduces en-bloc chances for big condos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-there-are-some-exceptional-factors-to-consider\">But there are some exceptional factors to consider<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-15272\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTO-construction-silhouette.jpg\" alt=\"Silhouette of BTO construction activities\" class=\"wp-image-15272\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>Developers have already paid high land prices in 2017, making it hard to give further discounts<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Again, we should refrain from thinking the oversupply will cause plummeting property values. It very likely won&#8217;t. Private property prices have been healthy of late \u2013 they rose 2.1% in Q3 2019, and last year we saw prices rise by over 9% in Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, there was unusual distortion in 2017, when foreign developers flooded the market and started an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/singapore\/en-bloc-sales-year-expected-trump-2017-new-record-high-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">en-bloc fever<\/a>. This is a contributor to the current oversupply; so perhaps any measure to ease ABSD for developers should be temporary, and just to overcome this immediate situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-you-think-of-the-current-supply-gut-let-us-know-in-the-comments-below\">What do you think of the current supply gut?
