Aristotle 5th Gear May 12, 2011 Share May 12, 2011 Wah. If anyone can predict when interest rate increases, then he will be George Soros in disguise. Haha! Seriously, if you cannot take the heat of increasing interest rate, then either take the fixed rate or a smaller loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I take variable or Sibor Packages? Hmm... approach a financial advisor who is expert in property loan. he/she will source for you the best offer that suits you plus with a lowest interest rate, which bank is not important after all. end of the day, he/she will get commission from the bank, not from you. don't worry. =p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemmie78 Clutched May 12, 2011 Share May 12, 2011 Thanks Bro but pls enlighten me when will the variable rate increase hur? variable rate is peg to bank's board rate which generally lags behind movements in sibor which can be swift and fast if fed hike rates....middle ground i think bearing in mind interest rates prohbably only have one direction to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamtaroo Neutral Newbie May 12, 2011 Share May 12, 2011 Can call housing loan broker, like this guy Dennis Ng appear on tv all the time http://www.housingloansg.com/web/ he can recommend you which bank got special rate etc ... i tink he earns commission by recommending you to say ABC bank, just like when buying brand new car, when take the car loan the bank give the SE commission, based on the loan quantum and how many years loan, same theory.

Atonchia Supersonic May 12, 2011 Share May 12, 2011 Thanks Bro but pls enlighten me when will the variable rate increase hur? Ask such a difficult question Here are some stuff to digest, so once you get a rough idea what cause interest rate to rise, what are the contributing factors that influence the decision makers to raise the interest rates, what other things can be done.... then use you own gut feel if you think it will rise of fall. See Below: India raises interest rates to curb inflation http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12274015 Indonesia Refrains From Raising Rates for Third Month to Boost Slow Growth http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-12/i...owth-eases.html Global economic outlook http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2011/01/pdf/text.pdf US outlook http://www.money-rates.com/fed.htm Singapore outlook http://www.mas.gov.sg/resource/publication...Apr11_Chap3.pdf Rates http://www.mas.gov.sg/data_room/msb/domest...rest_rates.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
