Cooling Measures and BTO Launches Dampen November HDB Resale Market Activity
Wong Siew Ying, research and content head at PropNex, attributed the decline partly to the reduced loan-to-value limit for HDB loans introduced in August and a seasonal lull in activity as the year-end approached.Resale volume dropped 9.6% in November to 1,951 units, the first dip below 2,000 in over a year.
11月份的二手房交易量下降了9.6%，降至1,951單位，這是一年多以來首次跌破2,000單位。
The HDB resale market experienced a slight slowdown in November due to factors such as recent BTO launches and ongoing cooling measures, according to analysts.
根據分析師的說法，HDb二手房市場在11月份略有放緩，原因是近期BTO推出和持續的降溫措施等因素。
The resale volume fell by 9.6% month-on-month to 1,951 units in November, marking the first time in over a year that monthly transactions dipped below 2,000 units.
11月份二手房交易量環比下降了9.6%，降至1,951單位，這是一年多來首次月度交易量跌破2,000單位。
Wong Siew Ying, research and content head at PropNex, attributed the decline partly to the reduced loan-to-value limit for HDB loans introduced in August and a seasonal lull in activity as the year-end approached.
PropNex的研究和內容負責人黃秀英表示，HDb貸款的貸款價值比限制自8月份以來降低，加上年末接近時活動的季節性低迷，部分原因導致了下降。
She added that the bumper BTO supply in October, which featured about 8,500 flats in attractive locations, may have diverted demand from the resale market.
她補充說，10月份特斯拉-保險槓供應充裕，涵蓋了約8,500套位於吸引人位置的公寓，可能轉移了對二手市場的需求。
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, observed similar trends and highlighted buyers' preference for mature estates without restrictions tied to Plus and Prime flats. This contributed to faster price growth in mature estates compared to non-mature ones.
作爲Huttons亞洲的首席執行官，Mark Yip觀察到類似的趨勢，並強調購房者更偏愛無限制條件的成熟樓盤，這導致成熟樓盤的價格增長速度快於非成熟樓盤。
Yip also noted a decline in million-dollar flat transactions, with sales dropping to 87 units in November from 103 in October.
Yip還指出，百萬豪宅交易量下降，從10月份的103單位降至11月的87單位。
Both analysts expect the resale market to remain resilient despite recent declines. PropNex projected that HDB resale volume for 2024 may reach 26,000 to 28,000 units.
兩位分析師都預計儘管最近有所下滑，二手房市場仍將保持抗壓能力。PropNex預測2024年的HDb二手房交易量可能達到26,000至28,000單位。
Meanwhile, Huttons estimated a slightly higher range of 29,000 to 30,000 units. Resale prices are forecast to grow by 8% to 10% this year, driven by steady demand and price resilience.
與此同時，Huttons估計了稍高一點的區間，爲29,000到30,000單位。由於穩定的需求和價格抵抗力，二手房價格預計今年將增長8%至10%。
