Income needed
Under the 30% Mortgage Servicing Ratio for HDB flats, an instalment of S$7,806.99 needs a gross household income of at least S$26,023.31 a month. Under the 55% TDSR, it needs at least S$14,194.54 with no other debts. Banks test affordability at a higher stress-test rate, so the real requirement is higher for bank loans.
Things to check
- Stamp duty must be paid within 14 days of signing, so have the cash ready before you exercise the option.
- HDB loans are capped at 25 years and must be fully repaid by age 65.
- Budget for legal fees, valuation, renovation and moving costs on top of the downpayment and stamp duties.
- Stamp duty is based on the purchase price or market value, whichever is higher.
Background
The Total Debt Servicing Ratio limits monthly debt repayments to 55% of gross monthly income for any property loan, and the Mortgage Servicing Ratio limits the housing instalment to 30% of income for HDB flats and new executive condominiums. Banks apply a medium-term interest rate in these tests rather than the rate you will actually pay.
Most Singaporeans live in HDB flats, which can be financed with an HDB concessionary loan at 0.1% above the CPF Ordinary Account rate or with a bank loan. Private property must be financed with a bank loan, and banks offer fixed, floating and SORA-pegged packages.
Singapore's property market is shaped by cooling measures introduced since 2009, including Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty, loan-to-value limits and debt servicing ratios. These rules are adjusted when the market runs hot, so the numbers you see today may differ from what friends paid a few years ago.
