PROBLEM & MOTIVATION

Problem In the recent years, housing prices have been on the rise making it difficult for Singaporeans to own a house. In the National Day Rally 2018, PM Mr. Lee Hsien Loong addressed to the issue of housing to Singaporean. He stated the importance of the 99-year lease of Home Ownership as compared to Singaporean renting a house. However, several older estates were built within short periods such as Marine Parade, Ang Mo Kio and Bedok when their 99-year lease has expired they will all expire at the same time and the flats will be returned to the state. The government has also been progressively taking back flats over the years for redevelopment.

Motivation There is a need to relocate residents for redevelopment such as getting another flat to live in. In response to growing demand for housing, there is a need to analyze housing supply and housing prices to gain insights on how much is enough supply of housing and how much is enough payback price for citizens to afford a new housing.

OBJECTIVES

In this project, we are interested to create a visualization that helps analysts perform the following:

1. Identify the lease term of the HDB and highlight those that are going to reach their due year.
2. Identify the number of units and the number of households in the HDB that will be affected by the relocation
3. Identify the buyback price that will enable affected households to have enough lump sum to buy a new house after buyback
4. Identify how much housing should be supplied based on the household’s affected by buyback

SELECTED DATASET

The dataset for analysis will be retrieved from multiple databases, as elaborated below:

Dataset/Source	Data Attributes	Rationale Of Usage
HDB Property Information (https://data.gov.sg/dataset/hdb-property-information)	Block Number Street Max Floor Year_Completed Residential Commercial Town Contract Total Dwellings Unit 1 Room Sold 2 Room Sold 3 Room Sold 4 Room Sold 5 Room Sold Exec Sold Multigen Sold Studio Sold 1 Room Rental 2 Room Rental 3 Room Rental Other Room Rental FY(1 April - 31 March)	We want to see the number of Units Sold across Singapore that are sold or rented. This information are for public HDB housing estate. The dataset contains information on how long the HDB lease left and other information about a HDB property We want to filter out the residential area applicable to our analysis
