#118 7-year MOP? Grant Clawbacks? Stamp Duty Adjustments By Location?!

Part 2 of dissecting Budget 2025 in NOTG delves into what could come next. George, Jesley, and Yong Zhun from PropertyLimBrothers discuss a wide range of speculative ideas that could redefine the future of Singapore’s property market.

Could a 7-year MOP for resale HDBs help temper demand? Will extending the wait-out period from 15 to 24 months for HDB-to-condo transitions affect market behaviour? Hear more “what-ifs,” including proposals to adjust stamp duty based on location and unit configuration. With ongoing shifts across both private and public housing segments, the team reflects on how affordability, infrastructure planning, and buyer psychology might intersect in the years ahead.

 

While none of these ideas are official policy, the episode invites viewers to consider the trade-offs and implications behind potential regulatory changes. Tune in for a wide-lens view on the forces that could steer the direction of Singapore’s property landscape moving forward.
