If the market trend continues up, I dunno what will happen to newly weds...maybe can't afford a basic BTO 5 rm anymore? Any future market prediction?

I think higher prices next year.
Sorry, but life will kick you in the gonads.
We peasants just have to accept it and suffer for the the rest of our lives.

The weird trend is that the higher the prices, more people are actually buying ! Why is that so ? I'm puzzled ! Before the prices went crazy, people were enjoying a quality of life...now people are worrying over housing loan payments....probably for the next 30y !

SG: Population 7 million.
A house is a need.
I bet in 2030 we will reach 20 million.

Shortage of dorms, rising rents raise concerns
Mr Yeo fears employers may be forced to house workers in HDB flats.
IF RENT prices in dormitories continue to rise, employers may be forced to house more foreign workers in Housing Board flats.
That is the worry of MP Yeo Guat Kwang, who is also chairman of migrant help group Migrant Workers' Centre.
Monthly rent at purpose-built dormitories has gone up significantly in recent years because of a shortage of bed spaces, he said.
All the 39 purpose-built dorms are full.
In 2005, workers each paid about $95 a month to rent a bed space in these dorms. But the price has gone up to between $280 and $300 now.
In contrast, rent prices at HDB flats are relatively cheaper: It costs a worker about $200 every month to live in a flat.
"My concern is that if we do not have enough accommodation for these workers, they may actually move on to thinking of HDB rental as an alternative... This may cause inconvenience to some residents," said Mr Yeo.
He was speaking to reporters yesterday at the launch of the Dormitory Association of Singapore Limited (DASL), which has been set up to raise standards in the dorm industry.
There are 723,000 foreign workers in Singapore.
An estimated 150,000 live in purpose-built dorms and another 100,000 in rented HDB flats. Some 50,000 live in factory-converted dorms while the rest live in construction site quarters, temporary housing such as shipping containers, and residential premises such as shophouses and landed homes.
DASL president Kelvin Teo said one of the reasons there is a shortage of dorms is that the Government has released fewer plots of land in recent years.
"The preference is to locate the dorms in more remote places, but even these places are used to build HDB flats now," said Mr Teo.
In recent years, HDB residents have increasingly grumbled about foreign workers living in their midst. As a result, more dorms have been built in remote areas like Mandai and Tuas.

Hehe! Perhaps we may consider immigration to cheaper countries? Some of my friends had done that. But SG is still a good place to retire if you have the $.
