Income needed
Under the 30% Mortgage Servicing Ratio for HDB flats, an instalment of S$8,423.34 needs a gross household income of at least S$28,077.79 a month. Under the 55% TDSR, it needs at least S$15,315.16 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
- Budget for legal fees, valuation, renovation and moving costs on top of the downpayment and stamp duties.
- A second housing loan drops the LTV limit sharply and raises the minimum cash downpayment to 25%.
- HDB loans are capped at 25 years and must be fully repaid by age 65.
- Seller's Stamp Duty can wipe out the gains on a quick resale, so check your holding period before selling.
Background
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.
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.
