Even if prices increase by a five percent CAGR over 2018-2019, based on 2016 income levels, the price-to-income ratios remain reasonable.\u201d<br \/>\nFurthermore, DBS Equity Research thinks that there is still room for property developers to raise home prices before buyers find them unaffordable, as the present price-to-income ratio is close to levels seen in 2003 and the multiples in the republic are lower compared to those in other major markets.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThis article was edited by Keshia Faculin.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : proppertyguru.com.sg\/Property Market&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyguru.com.sg\/property-management-news\/2017\/12\/167020\/spore-homes-cheaper-compared-to-those-in-other-major-markets\" target=\"_blank\">S\u2019pore homes cheaper compared to those in other major markets<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Residential prices here are more affordable compared to many major markets across the world, reported&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-jwo","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2600,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/housing-severely-unaffordable-as-sydney-price-to-income-ratio-worsens\/","url_meta":{"origin":75044,"position":0},"title":"Housing &#039;severely unaffordable&#039; as Sydney price to income ratio worsens","date":"January 25, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Sydney second least affordable after Hong Kong in survey of housing in major metropolitan markets across the worldHousing in Australia has been categorised as \u201cseverely unaffordable\u201d compared with metropolitan markets around the world, a comprehensive survey has found.
