New requirements such as additional stamp duties for second homes could be targeted at buyers that have overstretched their finances to purchase private property, said&nbsp;Christine Sun, senior vice president of research and analytics at&nbsp;OrangeTee &amp; Tie Pte.&nbsp;in Singapore.\nMarket watchers are divided on how much the new policies might dampen market momentum. Sun projects private-home prices to rise “at a much slower pace” in 2022, in the range of 0%-3%.\nAlan Cheong, executive director of research at&nbsp;Savills Plc, said the new measures may limit foreign buying of private residential properties, but are “unlikely to have any significant impact” on local demand.\nCheong still expects Singapore private residential prices to rise by 7% next year, as “the belief that real estate is a hedge against inflation” means that elevated inflation could actually be a driver of demand.
