Your analysis is interesting. However given the strong economic growth in Singapore over the last few years, investors have holding power and will refuse to sell unless asking prices are met; the 'flippers' with no holding power will all have been weeded out before completion assuming they bought in August. If you need the property you will still need to buy anyway since prices are moving up. Also, the commodities boom is pushing up materials costs, so replacement cost for anything is still going up. Maybe not so good as investment since there are alternatives, but at least to stay buying is a good idea

Yes , sellers with holding power will hold on , but when stock market is down(potentially lacklustre for 2008) , and inflation is high , holding power will be diminished, and only investors with sound investment strategy, without over exposure to volatile investments will hold out. Thus , do not wait till the market crash and you are forced to cut loss. Plan ahead take some profit while you can. Not everyone can buy at the low and sell and the very peak. In betw, there are also profit to be made.
Then again , it all depends on individual opinion on the market this year and of coz your risk appetite.
