Kubes,

None of your effing business.

Does it matter?

100% of everything I have is in property.

It does matter.  You go on and on telling everyone to buy buy buy, yet when we ask you to demonstrate that you actually know what you are talking about by detailing your personal success to date, you run a mile.  Leaders of others know that one of the best indicators of future success, is past success.  If you cannot demonstrate your successes to date, you have no credibility here.

I will also give you some free advice.  As an real estate agent, you are bottom on the of pile people who get to wear a business suits.  No qualifications are required, it is unregulated in SG, it is an easy industry to enter, and it is therefore a "career option" for people who have failed at everything else in life they have tried.

So dear Agent007, for all your bravado and optimism you will continue to viewed a sad failure, until you can demonstrate to us how successful you have been in the past.

Over to you...

[to kubes]

Since when do agents wear suits?

Anyway, I hope you aren't expecting a decent response, he is the best example so far as to why this b+ard software sucks and needs an ignore option.

[Agent007]

How many times do I have to tell you Kubes? I am not a property agent. Get it into your thick Aussie skull.

[Red..no, black.. no, red.]

I'm a gambler. I gamble for a living. Try to remember.

[Noi debate]

you may or may not be an agent
you may or may not be a gambler
but you definitely are a flog.

[Silly...]

Kubes - your predictions about the collapse of the property market, the tanking of the Singapore economy and the failure of the casinos have not been correct. Mate, you are not much of an expert on anything but whinging.

2011 is likely when it all descends into mayhem.

[Silly kubes]

2011 is likely when it all descends into mayhem.

Yep if not 2011, then 2012. If not 2013 or 2014. Perhaps 2020.

You've been making silly predictions for a couple of years.

[the fact_remains]

2011 is likely when it all descends into mayhem.

Descends ?   

The indicators show the world pulling out of the mess, albeit slowly, but out of the mess, none the less.

Tourist numbers are way up here since the IR opened.

Remember that the housing market typically slows down on the months leading up to the year end. 

Come February/March, it will be all systems go again.

The general heatlth of the housing market and the economy looks quite good I would say personally.

Singapore has the best performing property market in the world, according to a survey conducted by Global Property Guide.

The research shows an uneven recovery in global housing markets during the first half of 2010. Singapore, according to the report, has been a “spectacular performer” with 34 per cent year-on-year house price increases. Hong Kong and Australia, ranked second and third, have also witnessed strong performances in the property markets.

At the other end of the scale, markets in Europe have been very mixed. House price declines continue in Ireland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Iceland, Russia, Croatia, Spain and Slovakia.

Global Property Guide discovered the during the year ending June 30, 18 countries saw house price increases, while 18 countries saw price declines. Only six countries saw bigger price decreases, or smaller increases, during the year from Q2 2009 to Q2 2010, than during the same period the previous year, however 30 countries saw larger price increases, or less severe declines, than last year.

The Global Property Guide‘s statistical presentation uses price changes after inflation, giving a more realistic picture than the more upbeat nominal figures usually preferred by real estate agents.

While Singapore enjoyed the highest increase among all countries surveyed by the Global Property Guide, Hong Kong followed with an increase of 21.42 per cent over the year to end Q2 2010, a huge improvement over last year’s price decline of 6.96 per cent. Taiwan’s house prices were up 11.51 per cent over the same period. Residential property prices in Shanghai rose 5.78 per cent during the year to end Q2 2010.

The report notes the region’s strong economic growth, low interest rates and increases in foreign demand which has fuelled skyrocketing house prices, stoking fears of a property bubble. In June the International Monetary Fund warned that “the booming Asian real estate markets may pose risks to financial stability.

Governments have responded by implementing anti-bubble measures. Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China have tightened credit supply by lowering the loan-to-value ratio. Singapore and Hong Kong have also increased land supplies. China increased the down payment requirement for second-home mortgages to 50 per cent. Taiwan raised its interest rate to 1.375 per cent, from a record-low of 1.25 per cent.

Unlike their neighboring countries, the report concludes, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines’ property markets performed poorly. Political unrest in Thailand took its toll. In Q2 2010, Thai house prices were down 4.83 per cent from a year earlier. However, Thailand’s house prices recorded an impressive 10.49 per cent gain during the three months ending June 2010. Prices of condominium units in Makati, Philippines dropped 4.85 per cent over the year, while in Indonesia’s 14 main cities prices were down 1.42 per cent over the same period.

"looks quite good I would say personally."

After you silliest posts in history on the other thread about expat packages, who would really care what you think 'looks good' 

I would suggest you change your nick in future.

Property prices here are overpriced. The rich are unloading
their loose change buying up properties because of the
stable and predictable climate here. Price is of no concern
to these global rich people. The speculators are caught up in the
fever wittingly or unwittingly.
