1 Property Take New Sales to Drop 4050% in 2H, Is The Market Right? Singapore: Residential Highlights Primary sales estimates by consensus (analysts) point to a drastic drop in 2H2013. Developers sold 9,950 private residential units in 1H2013 (17% YoY). Consensus expects new sales to drop by a drastic 4050% HoH in 2H2013. Our analysis of 2H/1H data from 1997 to 2012, reveals that such a large percentage drop in new sales has only occurred three times (1999, 2002 and 2007). Consensus expects new sales volume to drop close to 30% YoY (15,00016,000 units) in The new sales (private residential) recorded in 2012 and 2011 were 22,197 units and 15,904 units, respectively. The historical average new sales in the last 15 years is 10,370 units. In the past few years, Singapore property purchases by foreigners have been partly driven by currency appreciation (S$ gains). There is a strong negative correlation (0.92) between the US$ and the Property Price Index (PPI) in Singapore. Data from 1997 to 1H2013 reveals that as the US$ weakened against the S$, the PPI and Rental Index in Singapore increased. The challenging factors for the residential sector include a supply overhang in 2014 and government policies, specifically several rounds of property cooling and foreign workforce tightening measures. The supplydemand dynamics that supported high occupancy rates and rents in the past few years are expected to reverse. Rental yields in certain areas have softened and will become increasingly affordable in the foreseeable future. Our analysis of the PPI of Condominiums shows that the trough in the property price cycle happened in 2H1998 (Asian Financial Crisis) and another pronounced dip occurred in 1H2009 (Global Financial Crisis). During the economic crisis, the quarterly PPI for the Central Region fell close to 30% YoY. The PPI of Condominiums vulnerability to external shocks coupled with record completions, indicate that the next dip in the event of an economic downturn is likely to be steep. From a global perspective, fears of Fed tapering have increased the risk of a liquidity dryup. The nearterm prospects for continued large capital inflows are not as promising as before. Taking into account underlying factors and the low probability of QE pullback, we think that it is extremely unlikely that home prices will increase further in Even if there is a downward adjustment in home prices, we think it will not exceed 10% and will probably be shortlived (based on Singapore s GDP growth forecast of 2.5%3.5% in 2013). During periods of economic crisis in the past, the PPI decline lasted 6 to 10 consecutive quarters. Further tightening measures will continue to moderate sales volume The market expects a significant drop in 2H2013 private new sales. The 8 th round of property cooling measures (effective 29 June 2013) and the 9 th (effective 28 August 2013) will further crimp demand in the primary market. The 7 th round (effective 12 January 2013) of cooling measures has already made an impact, with primary sales falling by 17% YoY to 9,950 units in 1H2013 (from 11,928 units in 1H2012). Consensus expects primary sales to fall by 4050% HoH in 2H2013. Based on 2H/1H sales data from the last 16 years, such a big drop has only been witnessed in 1999 (64.6% HoH), 2002 (48.7% HoH) and 2007 (50.6% HoH) which is close to periods of economic downturn (refer to URA Price Index vs. 2H/1H New Sales % Chg chart).

Hence, the Government sees the need for the comprehensive Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework. The combined effects of the TDSR, latest additional measure on public housing and the earlier policy measures will continue to moderate sales volume. The TDSR framework takes into account the borrower s other outstanding debt obligations for both property and nonproperty loans and applies discounts to variable income & eligible assets. It will also close up loopholes by requiring that the borrowers named on a property loan have to be the mortgagors of the residential property for which the loan is taken. The TDSR also requires that FIs use the incomeweighted average age of borrowers in the case of joint borrowers. The TDSR also states that guarantors who are standing guarantee for borrowers otherwise assessed by the FI at the point of application for the housing loan not to meet the TDSR threshold for a property loan will be brought in as coborrowers. Since the introduction of the TDSR, banks have taken a longer time to process loan applications. In addition, the latest public housing measures are expected to negatively affect demand in the massmarket private residential segment. The further pressure on the already weak HDB resale market will negatively impact the potential HDB upgraders demand for both HDB flats and private residential units. HDB upgraders accounted for close to 50% of private home sales in 1H2013. With further tightening, consensus forecasts private new sales to drop close to 30% (15,00016,000 units) in 2013 versus new sale transactions of 22,197 units in The historical average new sales volume in the last 15 years is 10,370 units.

Secondary sales volume in 2Q2013 had declined to its lowest level since 1Q2009. Private secondary transactions peaked in and have been on a downward trend in the past few quarters. 1H2013 secondary sales fell by 35% YoY to 4,667 units. On an annualised basis, this translates into less than 10,000 units. The historical average for secondary sales in the past 15 years is 11,933 units. Page 3 of 11

Foreign purchases peaked in 2011 when foreign buyers accounted for 17% of total private property transactions. There is a strong negative correlation of 0.92 between the US$ and the PPI in the past 16 years. The US$/S$ vs. URA Price Index chart shows that as the US$ depreciated, the PPI and Rental Index increased. The chart also indicates that rental growth was slower than price increase and the gap has widened. Rental yields have softened and rents will become more affordable in the near future. Page 4 of 11

The total supply of uncompleted private residential units was 87,789 (2013 to >2017) as at. If we were to include the 12,449 units of Executive Condominium (EC), the total supply in the pipeline would be 100,238 units. Furthermore, another 12,329 units from Government Land Sales (GLS) will be added to the pipeline soon. Including these units, there will be 112,567 private housing and EC units in the overall pipeline, of which a sizeable portion is slated for completion in the next 34 years. If we were to include HDB flats, the total supply would be above 205,000 units over Page 5 of 11

The supply of residential units is likely to outstrip underlying demand in the coming quarters, leading to a decline in home prices, theoretically. Rents will likely come under pressure from the substantial number of completions, the expected reversal in high occupancy rates and lower rental demand due to the Government s ongoing policies to tighten the inflow of foreign workers. These factors coupled with the slowdown in Singapore s resident population growth ( 1% in the last 3 years) suggest that there is rising risk of a supply glut. Page 6 of 11

We take a closer look at the PPI of Condominiums as condominiums accounted for 50% of private residential stocks in 2Q2013. Our analysis of the PPI of Condominiums in the past 16 years shows that the trough in the property price cycle occurred at end1998 during the Asian Financial Crisis and another pronounced dip happened in 1H2009 during the Global Financial Crisis. Real GDP contracted by 2.2% and 0.8% in 1998 and 2009 respectively.

In the last three consecutive quarters (4Q20122Q2013), the Central Region s PPI of Condominiums declined marginally YoY. In 2Q2013, the Central Region s PPI of Condominiums was 1.5% below its historical peak. The Singapore economy is expected to grow by % in 2013 (based on Government s forecast) hence we do not expect a significant dip this year. Page 7 of 11
8 2Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 2012 Property Price Index of Condominiums Global Financial Crisis Asian Financial Crisis DotCom Bubble Central East North East West QE and its impact on the property sector. In June 2013, the United States (US) Government announced that it might start to taper QE3 by end Sept and end the program by mid2014 when unemployment rate is around 7%. Tapering implies a slower pace of new asset purchases (the Fed is currently buying US$85 billion worth of securities per month). The financial markets reacted negatively (bond yields rose and equities declined) to the news of the expected tapering and unwinding of QE in the US as investor perception of global liquidity changed. To recap, QE increased the money supply as lower interest rates spurred strong demand for credit and allowed banks to make more loans, and thus, stimulate the economy. As a result, there was a significant flow of credit to the asset markets, especially real estate. QE kept the mortgage rates low and that s a key factor supporting the housing market especially in Asia. Hence we have seen growing leverage and a hike in property prices. In our opinion, although the probability of QE tapering in the near term is low, it will happen eventually. Government measures. To date, there have been nine rounds of property cooling measures. These measures are calibrated to be stricter in the cases of property ownership for investment and foreign buyers, as well as to discourage overborrowing. The broader aim of these measures is to prevent a price bubble and foster longterm stability in the property market. On 28 June 2013, MAS introduced the TDSR framework for all property loans granted by FIs to individuals, and subsequently on 27 August 2013, the Singapore Government introduced additional public housing measures to emphasise financial prudence. Refer to Summary Key Measures in Appendix. Page 8 of 11
