Top 10 U.S. Cities with the Highest Rental Yield

Cities across the U.S. have seen some of the highest rental yields to date. From 2020 to 2021, home sales prices rose approximately 20%. That’s great news for real estate investors that held property pre-pandemic, but with low inventory and rising rates forcing the owner-occupied borrowers out of the market, opportunities for high-yield U.S. investment properties are abundant. Here are the top 10 U.S. cities with the highest rental prices and most affordable properties.

Houston, Texas 

The lack of affordable single-family homes has created a demand for rental properties in Houston. Its strong job market makes it a solid play for investors of these types of properties. 

Average Purchase Price: $496,930

Average Rental Income: $3,455 

Arlington, Texas 

Arlington, a city in north Texas, is ranked 12 on the list of the top places in Texas to purchase a home, according to Policygenius. At $275,745, the average house value is 6% more than the national average, and its five-year growth rate is 63.6%.

Cincinnati has become one of the go-to markets for out-of-state real estate investors looking to buy properties at a good price and still earn a reasonable rate of return, and prices have increased as a result. 

Average Purchase Price: $474,750  

Average price/sqft: $171

What You Need to Know About Repaying Your Property Loan in Singapore

Looking for a home in Singapore but worried you won't have enough money to make a down payment right now? Maybe what you need is a financing for real estate. However, the Property Loan Singapore landscape can be confusing due to the wide range of loans available, each with its own interest rates and payback periods. This is why we're here—to help you find your way.

Exactly what is a mortgage loan?

Loans specifically designed to finance the acquisition of real estate are known as "property loans." Apartment buildings, single-family homes, office buildings, and retail establishments are all included in this category.

Home mortgages and business mortgages are the two most common property loans in Singapore. Loans for the purchase of a private residence fall within the purview of house loans, whereas loans for the acquisition of commercial assets are the purview of commercial lenders.

Before deciding whether or not to grant you a loan, a lender will typically look at your credit history. This requires checking your proof of income, bank records, and FICO score. The lender's decision on interest rate and other loan terms will depend on their risk assessment of the data provided.

Remember that getting a mortgage on a home is a huge financial commitment, so think it through thoroughly before you do anything. However, it has the potential to be a highly lucrative investment if approached carefully and with the assistance of knowledgeable professionals.

Singapore's varied mortgage offerings for homes

Almost everyone needs a loan to finance a Business Loan Singapore. To complicate matters further, there is a wide variety of property loans from which to choose. Common forms of real estate financing include the following:

Housing and Development Board (HDB) loans are low-interest loans available for buying apartments.

2) Bank Loans Fixed-rate and floating-rate bank loans are the two most common kinds of loans. The interest rate on a fixed-rate loan remains constant during the life of the loan, while the interest rate on a floating-rate loan fluctuates with market conditions.

3 Commercial real estate loans are primarily used by businesses to finance the purchase of commercial properties like office buildings and shopping centers.

Loan refinancing allows you to switch mortgage providers or improve your conditions without having to sell your home.

Each type of loan comes with its own set of benefits and drawbacks, which depend on your own financial situation. Before settling on a solution, it's important to do your homework.

Finding the Best Home Loan for Your Needs

It's crucial to make sure you're getting the best deal possible when shopping for a Commercial Property Loan Singapore, but it can be difficult to narrow down your options. Determine how much you can afford to borrow by first taking stock of your financial situation. It is important to consider both short-term costs and long-term viability.

The next step is to learn about the various loan alternatives in Singapore, which can include fixed-rate, floating-rate, or even hybrid loans. Your needs will determine the relative merits of the various possibilities.

Before deciding on a loan, think about the interest rate, repayment period, and fees and charges that come with each option. Some loans may involve fees that aren't obvious at first but pile up over time.

It is also a good idea to talk to mortgage brokers or bankers that specialize in property financing, as they may provide helpful information on things like current interest rates and market trends.

Before committing fully to a certain loan package, you should take account of potential risks such as fluctuating interest rates owing to economic conditions or job loss affecting your ability to repay the loan.

Conclusion

Finding the best financing solution for your needs might be challenging while navigating the Singapore property loan market. Whether you're wanting to finance an international trade transaction or refinance your house mortgage, there are a variety of financial options available to help you realize your real estate ambitions.

You should evaluate your current and future financial situation before deciding on a loan type. Interest rates, payback periods, and associated fees should all be thought out prior to making a final decision. Examine the rates offered by several lenders to find the best possible deal for your needs.

1 more day to being 35. Hurray!

And that means I can finally apply for a BTO! At least in the Single Singaporean context!

The BTO thing is not really a milestone that I care about that much but everybody and their aunties want me to do it, so i thought, eh, why not? And apparently I could also choose to go the "sales of balance" or "resale" route so that I can get a flat sooner. But I'm not that much in a rush to move out of my parents' home, so I figured I can probably wait that 3-5 years for that BTO to be completed. There are probably people in more dire need of a place to stay than me.

And if i'm being honest, acquiring, renovating, and maintaining a property sounds like just a whole lot of meaningless chore to me. (It's a safety net. It's a safety net. It's a safety net...)

Meanwhile things at work are getting interesting or frustrating (depending on which day you'd ask me). Past few months of trying to retain my ETR in Ops ended up futile and surprisingly emotional. Because I'm not going to get a headcount from CTO any time soon, I've decided that maybe I shouldn't delay my plans to go to grad school much longer. My director has put forward the plan to recruit/transfer internally (my not-so-secret plan is to find someone with the right skills and aptitude to take over my role someday). And that will be my goal after this pod thing is set up and running.

What is this pod thing? It's a new operating model and set of processes I designed to address this department's challenges in the long term. It seems promising and everyone is excited to kick it off, even the clients.

So I guess the next big thing is for me to test the hypotheses we have about this new model, oversee how it will be implemented in the next few months, and if it manages to gain traction, I would finally have a peace of mind to leave this company where I've spend almost 7 years of my life.

I have to keep in mind that there will always be new interesting problems to be solved here. I could already anticipate what's going to come next... but maybe I don't have to be that person solving them. I have to set that boundary for myself because otherwise I will never find the discipline to let others in the team be independent enough to take over.

One could argue about whether this team sinks or swim without me shouldn't be the deterrent for me to go and pursue for other goals in life. But perhaps I've already accepted this as one of my "puzzles to be solved" before I complete this game at "boss level" and finally feel like I'm able to leave.

There are probably many other more interesting and meaningful problems out there that deserves more of my attention. I just haven't discovered them yet. I feel like going to grad school is a way to force myself to broaden my horizons and worldview. I'm reading a lot of books that I never would have picked up years ago, but I wonder if I need to put myself out there and immerse in the subject matter and the community aspect of it long and deep enough to truly care at the same level of passion I am at work currently.

I recognise that I could only be so invested in the work that I do because I have such a secured, privileged life in Singapore, surrounded by family and friends who provide me with constant support and care. And financially, because I have no partners nor kids, I am literally quite free of burden (except for the impending study and HDB loans I will probably have to take in the coming years). This is a very lucky thing that I don't want to ever take for granted.

A few times over the course of my life, I've probably articulated in a few different ways, my guiding principle in life – that is, if I ever find myself at a crossroads of what to do, ask – what net positive in the world can I create with the resources I have?

Something that I resonated a lot from a Simon Sinek interview few months ago in which he said, the true purpose in life is to serve people that serve others. THIS. I don't enjoy the attention of being the "savior" – there's more satisfaction working behind-the-scenes to make sure things are running smoothly for those who do the work to help others. And paying it forward is the only way to have a multiplying positive impact on the world. (In other words, you don't need to shower your appreciation on me, just show up and do your fucking job well. It's the best way to thank me.)

Just that right now, my impact is inside the corporate world. My 23 year-old self would laugh at me now. She'd probably never imagine the 35 year-old person she'd grow into could care so much about some corporate shit. It's a miracle I haven't got jaded yet. But hey lil' Evon, you're still using your creative abilities to create things, but just in an unexpected setting for people who you've grown to care about. Your values haven't changed!

But what I can tell you is this – we are definitely still figuring things out. Let's check back in again in 10 years' time and ask 45 year-old Evon.

Case Study: How Multinational Companies Optimize Tax Planning

Tax planning is a critical aspect of managing a multinational company’s (MNC) global operations. By strategically aligning financial practices with tax regulations, MNCs can minimize liabilities while ensuring compliance with local and international laws. For aspiring Chartered Accountants (CAs), understanding these strategies is essential, as tax planning is a key area in CA exams and professional practice. This article delves into how multinational companies optimize tax planning, using case studies and insights from CA entrance exam books, scanners, and more.

What is Tax Planning?

Tax planning involves analyzing a financial situation to ensure tax efficiency. It’s not about evading taxes but structuring operations to reduce tax liabilities legally. For MNCs, tax planning is complex due to varying tax laws across jurisdictions.

Key Strategies Used by Multinational Companies

Transfer Pricing Transfer pricing is one of the most widely used tax optimization techniques by MNCs. It involves setting prices for goods, services, or intellectual property transferred between related entities within the same group. By aligning transfer prices with tax-efficient jurisdictions, companies can lower their overall tax burden.

Example: A U.S.-based MNC might establish a subsidiary in Ireland, known for its lower corporate tax rates. By transferring intellectual property to the Irish subsidiary and charging royalties, the MNC shifts income to a jurisdiction with a lower tax rate.

Learning Tip: Use resources like CA foundation scanner and scanner CA intermediate books to understand the fundamentals and methods of transfer pricing.

Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) MNCs leverage DTAAs to avoid being taxed on the same income in multiple countries. These agreements facilitate tax credits or exemptions, ensuring smoother cross-border transactions.

Example: An Indian subsidiary of a U.K.-based company can avoid double taxation through the India-U.K. DTAA by claiming tax relief on dividends.

Practical Insight: Scanner CA final books often include case studies related to DTAAs, making them an excellent resource for understanding these agreements.

Tax Havens and Low-Tax Jurisdictions Many MNCs establish entities in tax havens—countries with low or no corporate taxes—to optimize their tax planning. These jurisdictions provide favorable tax policies and confidentiality.

Example: Tech giants like Google and Apple have used the "Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich" structure, routing profits through Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to minimize taxes.

Debt Structuring MNCs often use intercompany loans to shift profits. By lending money from a low-tax jurisdiction entity to a high-tax jurisdiction entity, interest payments reduce taxable income in the high-tax country.

Example: A Singapore-based holding company might lend funds to a subsidiary in India, with the subsidiary paying deductible interest to the holding company.

Tax Incentives and Subsidies Governments worldwide offer tax incentives to attract foreign investment. MNCs actively seek these opportunities to reduce their tax liabilities.

Example: Manufacturing firms often set up operations in special economic zones (SEZs) in India to benefit from tax holidays.

Real-Life Case Studies

Amazon’s Tax Optimization Amazon has faced scrutiny for its tax planning strategies. By routing European sales through Luxembourg, a low-tax jurisdiction, Amazon minimized its corporate tax burden across the European Union. This strategy involved leveraging transfer pricing and favorable tax treaties.

Starbucks’ Transfer Pricing Model Starbucks reduced its tax liabilities by paying royalties to a Dutch subsidiary for using the company’s intellectual property. This subsidiary operated in a tax-friendly jurisdiction, making the structure efficient for tax planning.

Importance of Tax Planning for CA Students

For CA students, understanding tax planning strategies is crucial for exams and future practice. Topics like transfer pricing, DTAAs, and tax treaties frequently appear in CA exams, including:

CA Foundation: Covers basic tax concepts, which can be mastered using CA foundation scanner and scanner CA foundation books.

CA Intermediate: Delves deeper into international taxation, with scanner CA intermediate books offering practical insights and past paper analysis.

CA Final: Focuses on advanced tax planning strategies, case studies, and practical applications, best prepared with CA final scanner and scanner CA final books.

Practical Tips for CA Students

Use Scanners: Scanners such as CA foundation scanner and CA intermediate scanner compile frequently asked questions, helping students focus on high-priority topics.

Study Case Studies: Real-life examples in scanner CA final books provide practical insights into tax planning strategies.

Revise Regularly: Revisit key concepts frequently to ensure a thorough understanding.

Stay Updated: Tax laws are constantly evolving. Follow updates from the ICAI and other authoritative sources.

Ethical Considerations in Tax Planning

While tax planning is legal, MNCs must ensure ethical practices. Aggressive tax avoidance can lead to reputational damage and legal penalties. As future professionals, CA students must balance tax efficiency with compliance and ethical responsibility.

Conclusion

Tax planning is a cornerstone of financial management for multinational companies. By leveraging strategies like transfer pricing, DTAAs, and tax incentives, MNCs optimize their tax liabilities while adhering to legal frameworks. For CA students, mastering these concepts through resources like CA entrance exam books, scanners, and practical case studies is essential for academic success and professional growth. With diligence and the right tools, aspiring CAs can become experts in navigating the complexities of global tax planning.

Real Estate Investment Strategies Amidst Global Economic Uncertainty

Investing in real estate has long been a cornerstone of wealth creation, but global economic uncertainty often complicates decision-making. Political upheavals, inflationary pressures, and fluctuating interest rates can make even seasoned investors wary. However, with a well-thought-out strategy, real estate remains one of the most resilient investment avenues, providing long-term growth and diversification.

For investors looking for opportunities in challenging times, focusing on high-growth regions such as Property Investment Singapore is a strategic move. Singapore’s robust economy, transparent regulatory framework, and thriving real estate sector make it a compelling choice. This blog explores effective real estate investment strategies amidst global uncertainties, with a special focus on Singapore’s market.

Understanding Economic Uncertainty and Its Impact on Real Estate

Economic uncertainty stems from various global and local factors, such as geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates, or economic downturns. These uncertainties directly influence the real estate market in the following ways:

Fluctuating Property Prices: During economic turmoil, property prices may stagnate or decline in some regions, presenting buying opportunities.

Tighter Lending Conditions: Higher interest rates may restrict borrowing capacity, affecting affordability.

Shifting Demand Patterns: Economic instability often prompts changes in housing demand, such as increased interest in affordable housing or long-term rental properties.

Successful investors adapt by reassessing their strategies and choosing markets that demonstrate resilience.

Why Consider Property Investment in Singapore?

Singapore’s real estate market is renowned for its stability, making it a prime destination for investors seeking safe havens during economic turbulence. Here's why:

1. Strong Economic Fundamentals

Despite global uncertainty, Singapore’s economy remains one of the most competitive globally, thanks to prudent governance, robust infrastructure, and a business-friendly environment. These factors sustain demand for both residential and commercial properties.

2. Strategic Location and Global Connectivity

As a gateway to Asia, Singapore attracts multinational companies and expatriates, boosting demand for office spaces, retail outlets, and rental homes.

3. Transparent Regulatory Framework

Singapore’s regulatory landscape is designed to protect investors. Measures such as the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) and Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits ensure market stability and prevent speculative bubbles.

4. Resilient Property Market

Singapore’s property market has shown resilience even during global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Properties in prime locations like Orchard, Marina Bay, and Sentosa Cove maintain high value due to consistent demand.

Strategies for Real Estate Investment Amidst Uncertainty

Whether you're investing locally or in Singapore, these strategies can help navigate uncertain times:

1. Focus on Diversification

Diversifying your portfolio across asset classes and geographies reduces risk. Consider spreading investments across residential, commercial, and industrial properties in stable markets like Singapore.

2. Prioritize Cash Flow

Invest in income-generating properties that ensure steady rental returns. In Singapore, rental yields for well-located properties often remain stable due to high demand from expatriates and professionals.

3. Leverage Technology

Use real estate technology platforms to analyze market trends, evaluate property values, and identify investment opportunities. Proptech is especially useful in a competitive market like Singapore.

4. Invest in Prime Locations

Focus on properties in central business districts or areas with strong connectivity and infrastructure development. In Singapore, locations like District 9, District 10, and District 11 are always in high demand.

5. Be Cautious with Leverage

During economic uncertainty, avoid over-leveraging. Rising interest rates can increase repayment costs, so it's wise to maintain a conservative debt-to-equity ratio.

6. Hedge Against Inflation

Real estate is an excellent hedge against inflation. Properties in regions with strong economic fundamentals, like Singapore, are less susceptible to value erosion due to inflationary pressures.

7. Monitor Government Policies

Stay updated on government regulations, as policy changes can significantly impact the market. In Singapore, initiatives like cooling measures influence property prices and demand.

Opportunities in Singapore’s Real Estate Market

Residential Properties

High-quality residential projects, especially in prime districts, continue to attract investors. Condominiums near MRT stations, reputable schools, and commercial hubs are particularly popular.

Commercial Real Estate

Office spaces in Singapore’s central business district remain a lucrative investment due to consistent demand from multinational corporations.

Industrial Properties

The rise of e-commerce and logistics has boosted demand for industrial spaces. Singapore’s strategic location in Southeast Asia makes it a key hub for global trade.

Conclusion

Global economic uncertainty may pose challenges, but it also opens up opportunities for strategic real estate investors. By focusing on stable markets like Singapore, adopting a diversified approach, and leveraging local expertise, investors can safeguard their wealth and achieve long-term growth.

Property Investment Singapore offers a reliable and dynamic landscape for navigating uncertain times, making it an essential consideration for any real estate investor. As always, thorough research, sound financial planning, and a clear investment strategy are key to success.

The amount you can borrow for a commercial property loan depends on several factors such as your business’s financial strength, creditworthiness and value of the purchased or pledged assets. The interest rates for these loans are typically higher than residential mortgages due to higher risk involved but it could be lower when compared with other financing options like trade financing Singapore.

It’s important always consult with an experienced banker who can help guide through what may seem like complex lending requirements while ensuring you make informed decisions based on your business needs at every stage.

How a Financial Advisor in Singapore Can Help You Navigate the Housing Market

Purchasing a home in Singapore is often one of the most significant financial decisions you'll make in your lifetime. Whether you’re an expatriate or a local resident, the Singaporean property market presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. From understanding government regulations and financing options to determining the right property type and managing your mortgage, the process can quickly become overwhelming.

This is where a financial advisor Singapore can help. With in-depth knowledge of the market, financing structures, and government policies, a financial advisor Singapore can guide you through every step of the property-buying process, ensuring that you make informed decisions that align with your long-term financial goals. In this blog, we’ll explore how a financial advisor can help you navigate the housing market in Singapore and make the best choices for your financial future.

1. Understanding Singapore’s Housing Market

The Singapore housing market is unique and can be challenging to navigate, especially for first-time buyers or expatriates unfamiliar with local regulations. Singapore offers a range of property types, including public housing (HDB flats), private condominiums, and landed properties. Each type has different regulations, financing options, and market dynamics.

A financial advisor can help you:

Assess your property goals: Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, an investment property, or a vacation home, a financial advisor can help you assess your long-term goals and recommend the most suitable property type based on your needs and financial situation.

Understand market trends: The Singapore property market experiences cyclical changes, influenced by factors like government policies, interest rates, and economic conditions. A financial advisor can provide insights into current market trends, helping you identify the best time to buy or sell a property.

Navigate government policies: Singapore’s government imposes various regulations on the property market, particularly for foreign buyers. These include restrictions on the purchase of certain property types (e.g., landed property), stamp duties, and taxes. A financial advisor can help you understand these regulations and ensure that your purchase complies with local laws.

By gaining a comprehensive understanding of the housing market, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals.

2. Determining Your Budget and Financing Options

Before purchasing a property in Singapore, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your budget and financing options. Real estate is one of the largest investments you’ll make, so setting a realistic budget ensures that you’re not over-extending yourself financially.

A financial advisor can assist you by:

Evaluating your financial situation: A financial advisor will review your income, assets, liabilities, and credit history to determine how much you can afford to borrow and repay. This evaluation helps you set a budget for your property search and ensures that you can comfortably manage your mortgage payments.

Explaining financing options: Singapore has a variety of financing options for homebuyers, including bank loans, government housing loans, and mortgage refinancing. Your financial advisor can help you understand the pros and cons of each option, guiding you toward the most cost-effective solution for your situation.

Loan eligibility and requirements: For foreigners, loan eligibility can be more restrictive compared to local residents. Your financial advisor can help you assess whether you meet the necessary criteria for securing a loan, including down payment requirements, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and interest rates.

By carefully evaluating your finances and understanding your mortgage options, you can avoid over-borrowing and ensure that your property purchase is financially sustainable.

3. Exploring Government Schemes and Grants

For first-time homebuyers, especially Singaporean citizens or permanent residents, the government offers various schemes and grants to make purchasing a home more affordable. These include the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), the Additional CPF Housing Grant (AHG), and the Special CPF Housing Grant (SHG), among others.

A financial advisor can help you explore these schemes by:

Identifying eligibility: A financial advisor can help you determine whether you qualify for government grants or subsidies. These grants can significantly reduce the upfront costs of purchasing a home, making homeownership more accessible.

Maximizing CPF usage: The Central Provident Fund (CPF) plays a crucial role in home financing in Singapore. You can use your CPF savings to pay for part of the down payment and monthly mortgage payments. Your financial advisor can explain how to use your CPF efficiently to minimize cash outflows and make the most of your retirement savings.

Optimizing grant applications: If you're eligible for multiple government schemes, a financial advisor can help you navigate the application process and ensure that you’re maximizing your benefits.

By leveraging available grants and government schemes, you can lower the financial burden of purchasing a home, making it more affordable in the long run.

4. Evaluating the Investment Potential of a Property

Property in Singapore is often considered a long-term investment, and buying a home isn’t just about having a place to live—it’s also about securing your financial future. Whether you're purchasing a property to live in or as an investment, it’s important to evaluate the potential for appreciation and rental income.

A financial advisor can help you assess:

Capital appreciation potential: A financial advisor can help you identify neighborhoods or types of properties with high potential for capital growth. They can assess factors such as proximity to transport hubs, schools, commercial areas, and planned developments that could increase the value of the property over time.

Rental yield: If you're considering purchasing a property as an investment, your financial advisor can help you evaluate potential rental yields. This includes estimating monthly rental income, comparing it with mortgage payments, and calculating the overall return on investment (ROI).

Diversification strategy: If you already own other assets, such as stocks, bonds, or other properties, a financial advisor can help you ensure that your real estate investments are diversified and aligned with your broader investment strategy. This helps mitigate risk and optimize your financial portfolio.

By evaluating the investment potential of a property, a financial advisor ensures that your property purchase aligns with your long-term financial goals, whether you're looking to build wealth through capital appreciation or generate passive income through rental yields.

5. Managing Your Mortgage and Debt

Once you’ve purchased a property, managing your mortgage effectively is essential to maintaining financial health. With mortgage rates, loan tenures, and repayment structures varying significantly, it’s important to have a strategy for managing your debt.

A financial advisor can assist with:

Choosing the right mortgage structure: There are different types of mortgages available in Singapore, such as fixed-rate, floating-rate, and hybrid loans. Your financial advisor can explain the differences and help you select the most suitable option based on your financial situation and market conditions.

Refinancing options: Over time, interest rates can fluctuate, and your current mortgage terms may no longer be the most cost-effective. A financial advisor can guide you through refinancing options, helping you find a better deal and potentially saving you money on interest.

Managing debt repayment: A financial advisor can help you create a strategy for repaying your mortgage, ensuring that you’re balancing it with other financial goals, such as saving for retirement or building an emergency fund. They can also help you avoid over-borrowing or missing payments, which can have long-term consequences on your credit score and financial well-being.

By working with a financial advisor to manage your mortgage and debt, you can stay on track with your repayments and avoid the financial strain that can come with housing costs.

6. Planning for Future Property Purchases

Your first property purchase may not be your last, especially if you're planning to upgrade to a bigger home or invest in additional properties over time. A financial advisor can help you plan for future property purchases by:

Setting long-term property goals: If you plan to upgrade your home in the future or purchase additional investment properties, a financial advisor can help you set realistic goals and develop a strategy for achieving them.

Tax planning for property ownership: Property ownership in Singapore can involve taxes such as stamp duty, property taxes, and capital gains taxes. A financial advisor can help you understand how these taxes affect your financial situation and recommend strategies to minimize your tax liabilities.

Planning for inheritance: If you intend to pass down property to your children or other heirs, a financial advisor can assist with estate planning to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes.

By planning ahead for future property transactions, you can make smart decisions that maximize your financial return and protect your wealth.

Conclusion

Buying property in Singapore is a major financial commitment that requires careful planning and expert guidance. A financial advisor in Singapore can provide invaluable support throughout the entire process—from understanding the local housing market and determining your budget to evaluating your mortgage options and planning for future property investments.

Thị trường bất động sản tiềm ẩn yếu tố bất thường

Batdongsan.com.vn dẫn số liệu từ Global Property Guide cho biết, giá bán bất động sản Việt Nam đang tăng trưởng nhanh so với thế giới​.

Cụ thể, chỉ số tăng trưởng giá bất động sản trong 5 năm (từ năm 2019 - 2024) của Việt Nam đạt mức 59%, cao hơn nhiều quốc gia khác như Mỹ (54%), Úc (49%), Nhật Bản (41%), Singapore (37%)…

Tăng trưởng giá và lợi suất thuê BĐS từ năm 2019 - 2024 của một số nước. (Nguồn: Batdongsan.com.vn). 

Giá nhà đất tăng cao khiến việc sở hữu bất động sản của người dân ngày càng trở nên khó khăn, nhất là với những người trẻ. 

Theo ông Nguyễn Quốc Anh, Phó Tổng giám đốc Batdongsan.com.vn, người trẻ Việt Nam dù ở thời buổi nào cùng gặp khó khăn trong việc tự mua nhà. So sánh lương trung bình và giá nhà cho thấy, năm 2024, một cá nhân 9x cần 25,8 năm thu nhập để mua căn hộ rộng khoảng 60 m2 với giá 3 tỷ đồng, trong điều kiện lãi suất huy động ở mức 4,5%. 

Báo cáo ngành công bố mới đây của Chứng khoán Mirae Asset (MAS) cũng ghi nhận kết quả tương tự.

Cụ thể, giá nhà ở Việt Nam đang ở mức khá đắt đỏ với tỷ lệ giá nhà trên thu nhập ở mức cao. Sau khi đạt đỉnh điểm vào năm 2016 - 2017, do tình trạng đầu cơ bất động sản gia tăng, tỷ lệ này đã giảm xuống nhờ tăng trưởng GDP trong 5 năm tiếp theo, trước khi bắt đầu tăng dần trong 2 năm qua.

Giá nhà vẫn cao so với thu nhập của hộ gia đình, nguồn cung trên thị trường sơ cấp có hình kim tự tháp ngược, với các sản phẩm nghiêng về phân khúc cao cấp và đất nền do hoạt động đầu cơ.

Hiện Việt Nam đứng ở nhóm đầu bảng xếp hạng giá nhà trên thu nhập hộ gia đình với tỷ lệ 22,6x, chỉ sau Trung Quốc, Thái Lan, Philippines vào cao hơn những quốc gia như Singapore, Indonesia, Đài Loan, Nhật Bản, Mỹ, Nga, Anh, Pháp, Canada...

TS. Cấn Văn Lực cho rằng giá bất động sản đã tăng quá nhanh trong vòng 5 năm qua. (Ảnh: Di Anh). 

Tại Hội nghị Bất động sản Việt Nam 2024, TS. Cấn Văn Lực, Chuyên gia kinh tế trưởng của BIDV đánh giá thị trường bất động sản có phục hồi nhưng còn chậm, không đồng đều giữa các phân khúc, địa bàn và tiềm ẩn một vài yếu tố bất thường.

"Giá tăng nhanh quá. Từ năm 2019 đến nay, giá tăng tới 50 - 70%, chủ yếu thuộc phân khúc chung cư và một phần đất nền. Một trong những nguyên nhân khiến giá bất động sản bị đẩy lên cao là do thiếu hụt nguồn cung.

Tín dụng cho vay nhà ở tăng chậm, chỉ bằng khoảng 1/3 so với tín dụng cho vay đầu tư bất động sản. Điều này chứng tỏ giá nhà vẫn còn cao nên người dân lưỡng lự, chưa quyết định đi vay để mua. Các doanh nghiệp địa ốc cần lưu ý cân nhắc, tính toán giá bán sản phẩm về mức hợp lý hơn", ông Lực nói. 

Theo chuyên gia, các chính sách mới về đất đai và nhà ở được thông qua gần đây (như Nghị quyết về thị trường bất động sản và nhà ở xã hội, thí điểm cơ chế đặc thù và tháo gỡ vướng mắc cho các dự án, thí điểm thực hiện dự án nhà ở thương mại thông qua thỏa thuận về nhận quyền sử dụng đất hoặc đang có quyền sử dụng đất,...) được kỳ vọng sẽ mang lại những thay đổi đáng kể cho thị trường. 

Song, bất chấp những nỗ lực điều chỉnh từ chính sách, việc sở hữu nhà ở của người dân Việt Nam vẫn là một bài toán khó, đặc biệt là với thế hệ trẻ.
