That is why we outlined the best ones we&#8217;ve found in the market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you&#8217;ve just decided to buy that condominium after a few months of house-hunting and negotiations.. The next major decision you will have to make is which condo housing loan you are going to take up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since your mortgage could possibly be the largest loan you will take up in your life, it is important that you make a well-informed choice by looking at the possible options you have. Here, we discuss the different types of condo housing loans available in the market and highlight some of their special features that may cater more to your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The basics of a condo housing loan: Fixed or floating rates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two major components that make up a condo housing loan \u2013 whether it is a fixed or floating rate, and the type of interest rate it is pegged to. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed rate loans consist of interest rates that stay fixed during a period of time. Floating interest rates can change during a fixed period and are usually pegged to a benchmark interest rate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed rate mortgage loans typically charge a higher interest compared to floating rates because the bank is taking on the risk of being exposed to interest rate fluctuations on behalf of the client. The upside for paying a premium for fixed rate loan as a customer is that you have better control of your finances since your repayments will stay the same throughout a set period. Another advantage is that locking in a fixed rate loan can result in savings if the interest rates rise in the near future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparatively, floating rate loans usually start with lower initial rates, but are known to be more volatile. Rates can change with little warning and you may find yourself stuck if the loan comes with a lock-in period. Borrowers who choose floating rate loans are usually anticipating lower interest rates to come. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Types of benchmark rates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All condo housing loans base their interest on some form of benchmark rate. Currently, there are 4 major types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/sibor-rate-and-sor-rate-what-is-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore Interbank Offered Rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (SIBOR)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swap Offer Rate (SOR)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank&#8217;s Internal Board Rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed Deposit Rate<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first two are based on interest rates that banks use to borrow from each other and the information is transparent. For 3 &amp; 4, rates are determined by the individual banks themselves, so it could be subjected to change on their discretion. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Choosing a condo housing loan for private residential financing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For first-time borrowers, it can be tempting to take up a loan based on the cheapest interest rates offered. But it is obviously not so easy, if not, everyone will probably be just be applying for that same loan! Let&#8217;s look at some of the loans offered in the market now and their unique features:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>DBS Fixed Deposit Home rate (FHR18) Loan<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DBS was the first to introduce a home loan based on a fixed deposit rate and there are now several other banks, including OCBC, UOB and Standard Chartered, that have since introduced similar types of loans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FHR18 is based on the prevailing 18-months Singapore dollar fixed deposit interest rate offered by \u00a0DBS Bank for amounts within $1,000 to $9,999. The current FHR18 is 0.6 percent per annum. The loan rate is calculated by adding the FHR18 to a spread determined by the bank. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantage of this loan is that although the FHR is theoretically a board rate, banks will need to think twice about raising this rate since it will mean paying out higher interest rates to their base of fixed deposits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, DBS has a Christmas promotion offering the rate of FHR18+0.9 percent with a lock-in period of 2 years. This means that your effective interest rate is <\/span><b>1.5 percent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, plus you receive S$500 worth of Tangs shopping vouchers for any loan amount between $100,000 to $1 million. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>ANZ SIBOR-SOR combo loan<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who want the stability of a SIBOR loan rate but the advantage of a more volatile declining rate of the SOR, ANZ bank has a perfect mortgage loan product for you. They offer a mortgage loan that is pegged to a combined average of the SIBOR and SOR. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The floating rate loan is at <\/span><b>1.4 percent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> currently, and the loan comes with the additional benefit of paying out an exclusive bonus interest rate of 0.10 percent per annum if you maintain a minimum daily balance of at least SGD50,000 in your Home Loan Current Account. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Standard Chartered MortgageOne SIBOR<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the interest rates offered by the MortgageOne SIBOR is not the lowest compared to the two above, the rates are based on the SIBOR rate(which is supposedly more stable) and you can actually reduce your monthly interest paid on your mortgage loan with the interest you earn from your deposits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This loan product is great for those who have a large amount of cash which can be deposited into the account to earn interest rates, while \u00a0continuing to save money in the account every month. For instance, if you have $100,000 worth of cash deposited into the account and the interest rate for the loan is now at 1.8 percent, 2\/3 of the deposit can earn the same interest rate at 1.8 percent, while the remaining 1\/3 will earn 0.25 percent. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which condo housing loan should you take?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us do a simulation of the interest payable for someone looking to buy a private condominium worth S$1 million dollars.
