Seems like the developers and speculators have developed crying baby syndromes on the first sign of drops.
My take is that more should be coming.

Not the first time. After govt give in, they never play ball.
Never see any developers cut prices and lelong like in HK.
Let a few developers die. To wake up their ideas.

i don't think the developers can die so easily after so many layers of accumulated fats throughout the plentiful years. So are the fattened professional speculators. They may just hibernate like the snakes or bears in Winters' time.
Only the "retail investors" who may not have the deep pockets to ride through the coming tornadoes, may die.

Go check out the smaller listed developers that had launched projects in mid 2013 and has yet to achieved more than 20% sales, and their balance sheet. You will know which are the ones that are going to cut prices soon.
If they don't cut prices to move sales, they will realize that it's too late to take profit. Those that are over leveraged will be cutting prices soon. Well, they can still go for rights issue to lower their debts, provided the shareholders take the bait.

Most of the developers are still holding the units prices, they maybe betting the curbs will be short-lived or there will be another wave of buying coming soon.
