      Were there property crash before?


      What kind of level then is considered a crash?

      if i m not wrong around Mar2009(?) when the share mkt 'crashes' around that time i remember seeing unit sold at around 1.2k psf from the high 2.4k psf less than a yr ago. The last last time was SARS? somehow have the feeling most wont be so jittery as before as it will go back to reasonable normal price in no time.

      Agree. During SARS period and year 2009. Friend told me she went to see this unit in Yr2009, the owner wanted to let go soooo cheaply until she scared (less 50%). Now she regretted she didn’t buy. 😆

                During downturn, there's also fear of losing your job, especially for the middle aged...so even if very cheap but without rental or job...damn terok!

                    Yes... I have advised a friend not to commit to an ec. Why take the risk when he has a fully paid hdb?

                      The general sentiment is prices have bottomed out.

                      But rental prices also at rock bottom.

                      People really don’t mind paying ABSD because they think property prices have bottomed out? 7% is a lot.

                      More like give up hope government will remove the cooling measures...or thinking long term 🤷[/quote]Yup..think the cooling measure will remain.
