Singapore property players turn cautious as economic outlook darkens

Property players are more cautious about market outlook in the next 6 months to a year ahead in anticipation of various global economic uncertainties, according to a survey by the National University of Singapore's Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies (IREUS).
Nearly 97 per cent of its respondents flagged rising inflation or interest rates as the top potential risk factor which may adversely impact market sentiment in the next half year, according to the Real Estate Sentiment Index (RESI) survey. About 8 in 10 respondents also indicated "a decline in the global economy" and "tightening of financing and liquidity in the debt market" as potential risks.
Worries over rising costs of construction softened from 94.9 per cent in Q1 to 80 per cent in Q2, but it still remains in the top 4 risks. Meanwhile, there was growing concern over "the real estate bubble or excessive speculative activities" and "job losses or decline in the domestic economy", each getting about 16.7 per cent and 36.7 per cent votes respectively.
