Latest property measures may weed out marginal buyers

Check out this simple computation of monthly mortgage payment with the latest cooling measures.

MayBank's sensitivity analysis shows that for a SGD1 million loan, the monthly mortgage payment increases by nearly 13% to SGD3,451 on a base case interest rate of 1.5% p.a. when the loan tenure is reduced from 35 years to 30 years.

"We believe that marginal buyers will increasingly be forced out of the market if they deem the increase in monthly payments excessive, or if they do not have enough cash on hand for the higher downpayments should they insist on taking loans exceeding 30 years, or beyond the retirement age," it said in its latest report.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
