Interesting comments and observations from Ching Chiat Kwong, Oxley’s executive chairman and CEO highlighted below. Personally, I agree with him on passing  properties(non-HDB coz mine is abt 30+ years old) to my children, given that it will only get harder to compete in SG.

Oxley launching at ‘breakneck speed’
EdgeProp | July 28, 2018 8:00 AM SGT

The Singapore-listed property group is going ahead with its launch plans even in the face of harsh property cooling measures. It asserts that it is well diversified and can withstand the hit better than most........

Convinced by the corporate presentation, Ching relates: “I told Eric, ‘We’ve been working like dogs and didn’t even realise how big Oxley has become. I think we’d better go and buy Oxley’s shares.’”

The duo went on a buying binge in the subsequent days. Ching swept up more than 11 million Oxley shares on the open market over three days — from July 10 to 12 — for $3.9 million, increasing his stake in the company to 41.45%. Low bought 2.97 million shares on July 10 and 11 on the open market for $1.05 million, or an average price of 35.4 cents apiece  .....

.........................

Upgraders’ dreams dashed

While Oxley can stomach the 10ppt hike in ABSD that all developers are subjected to, Ching wonders about the homebuyers who have been hit by the new measures, especially those looking for a second property, who are now slapped with a 12% ABSD and LTV of 45%.

He is also concerned about the unintended consequences of the property cooling measures on the aspirations of young Singaporeans. “What else can you aspire to? People need to have dreams and aspirations to motivate them,” he says. “In Singapore, how many other ways are there to move up the social ladder? If it’s an investment property, you have something to retire on, pass to your child or something to fall back on if you’re in trouble. Suddenly, it seems that now they can only buy an HDB flat.”

Ching also sees many of those born in the 1980s forming the bulk of first-time homebuyers. The cooling measures have affected some of them because they have only saved up enough to cover a 20% down payment. Since July 6, the LTV for first-time homebuyers has been cut to 75%. The down payment has therefore been raised to 25%. “So now, you need rich parents, and it has become parents’ responsibility to help their children buy their first home.”
