- Affected market
- Acquisitions of residential property for ABSD purposes. The revised LTV limits applied to housing loans granted by financial institutions for the purchase of residential property, INCLUDING eligible loans used to purchase HDB flats. Loans granted directly by HDB were not affected. The exemption depended on the LENDER, not the property type: an HDB flat purchased with a covered financial-institution loan WAS affected.
- Primary source
- MOF/MND/MAS joint media release: Raising Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty Rates and Tightening Loan-to-Value Limits to Promote a Stable and Sustainable Property Market
On the evening of 5 July 2018, MOF, MND and MAS jointly announced increased Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty rates and tightened Loan-to-Value limits, effective the following day. ABSD rose 5 percentage points for individuals other than Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents buying their first residential property, and 10 percentage points for entities, from 15% to 25%. A new 5% non-remittable ABSD was introduced for housing developers on top of the 25% entity rate, which remained potentially remittable subject to prescribed development and sale conditions. LTV limits for financial-institution housing loans were tightened by 5 percentage points across the applicable tiers, while Mortgage Equity Withdrawal Loan limits were tightened by 5 or 15 points depending on the borrower's existing exposure. The measures landed during a rapid price recovery that had begun in Q3 2017 following close to four years of gradual decline, and at the peak of the 2017-18 collective sale cycle.

Methodology5 rules
- Comparison anchored to effective date: 6 July 2018. The anchor is the effective date where one is recorded, otherwise the announcement date.
- The windows are the same number of days on each side of the anchor, and the anchor day belongs to the after window.
- A series counts toward a window only for observation periods wholly inside it, with values as originally recorded, not as later revised.
- Where no whole period falls inside a window, no value and no difference is stated; a day no whole period covers is missing, never zero.
- Concurrent land sales and archive events are listed by date alone. Nothing on this page is attributed to the event.
