牛市即将结束，新加坡公寓价格会在2011见顶写于2011年1月19日
2011年1月13日，新加坡政府再次调控房地产，通过两个主要管道为新加坡楼市降温。在新措施下，一年内就将房地产脱手，就必须支付相等于售价或市价16％的印花税率；持守单位超过一年但不到两年就转售，税率是12％；持守期超过两年但不足三年，税率是8％；持守期超过三年但不足四年，税率是4％。持守超过四年后才转售，则无须缴交印花税。在上一轮的降温措施中，在三年内转售房地产者，卖方印花税最高不到3％，在持守了三年后转售，卖方已无须支付卖方印花税。在房屋贷款顶限方面，手头上仍有至少一个未还清房贷项目的屋主，在买新房子时，可向金融机构贷款的顶限，也从目前的70％，减少到60％。

prices of private homes reach new high: report
Average values of properties are now at S$1935 psf in prime areas and S$1043 for non-prime areas, the highest since the first quarter of 2008.
Chinese buyers took up the largest share for mass market units, at 63 per cent, priced between S$500,000 and S$1.5 million. Their share of units priced above S$5 million in central and prime districts was at 32 per cent.
