Comparative Review of Public Housing versus Private Property Markets

Public housing is generally more affordable, government-subsidised, and designed to provide accessible housing for the majority, while private housing is more expensive, market-driven, and offers luxury, exclusivity, and premium amenities.

Key comparative points include:

Aspect Public Housing Private Housing
Cost Significantly lower prices; government grants and subsidies available to eligible buyers Higher prices; no subsidies; higher down payments and mortgage rates
Target Population Majority of citizens; income ceilings apply; about 80% of citizens live in public housing Higher-income households, expatriates, foreign investors
Ownership & Regulation Prices set or heavily influenced by government; leasehold (typically 99 years) Prices fully market-determined; leasehold or freehold options
Amenities Basic amenities; community-focused living Luxury facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, security services
Location & Accessibility Strategically located near schools, transport, and essential amenities Often in prime or upscale areas; may have less public transport convenience but closer to entertainment and shopping
Market Dynamics Stable pricing influenced by policy; resale market active due to affordability Prices more volatile; potential for higher capital appreciation but with greater financial risk
Hybrid Options Executive Condominiums (ECs) offer a middle ground with some private features but at lower prices and with ownership restrictions

Public housing aims to ensure housing affordability and social equity, while private housing caters to lifestyle preferences and investment potential. The two markets coexist with some interaction, as changes in public housing affordability can influence private housing demand and prices.
