“Keep your HDB and invest the difference in the S&P 500.” Sounds simple, right? But the Singapore math includes CPF accrued interest, leverage, replacement costs, land prices, and the future cost of buying back into the property market. The real question isn’t simply stocks or property

The Straits Times says buying a home is getting harder. But before you conclude that property is no longer worth buying, ask a more important question: Are you looking at the right market? Singapore’s property market is not one single market. HDB resale and private property can move differ

Everyone is reading the NSC delay as bad news. But for condo buyers along this corridor, the extended construction timeline quietly stretches the window to buy before the accessibility premium is fully priced in. In this reel, I break down: Why the market prices infrastructure at completion,

Parliament just passed the Land Titles Bill. En bloc consent thresholds dropped from 80% to 70% for developments aged 40–59, and 65% for those 60+. At the same time, buyers of large en bloc sites got extended ABSD timelines to complete and sell. More redevelopment, yes. Cheaper new launches, no.

A $0.58 pack of toilet paper reveals a bigger risk for condo buyers. As more purchases move online, neighbourhood malls may lose footfall, tenant variety, and long-term relevance. That matters when part of your condo premium is based on “integrated living” and retail convenience. Before pa

Shops are closing. Rents are rising. That should be impossible. In Q2 2026, URA data showed retail rents up 0.6% even as 37,000 sqm of occupied space vanished and vacancy ticked up to 6.5%. The real story? Landlords are withdrawing stock faster than demand is collapsing. The shops left behind

MOE just changed the rules for 12 top primary schools. From 2027, the 60 reserved Phase 2C places split into two ballots: within 2km and beyond. Distance priority inside each ballot disappears. The 1km guarantee is gone. But if you haven't bought yet, this is quietly good news. You no longer

The 1km school premium is not property. It is policy. MOE’s 2027 P1 changes dilute the automatic advantage of living near a top school. When admission rules widen access, that premium leaks outward. Early buyers can end up holding the peak. The real trap is not earliness. It is misaligned tim

One developer. Two adjacent plots. Almost no competition. Sim Lian won the first Holland Plain site in a five-bid tender at S$1,432 psf ppr. Months later, it secured the neighbouring site as the sole bidder at S$1,491 psf ppr, only 4% higher. At first glance, a sole bid may suggest weak deman

Amberwood at Holland is priced from S$2.6 million. At first glance, that sounds like a rare opportunity to enter District 10 at a more reachable quantum. But the smallest three-bedroom unit is only 872 sqft, priced at approximately S$2,945 psf. The five-bedroom units are around S$2,990 psf.

2,500 new homes are coming to Holland Plain across eight GLS sites. The natural instinct is to wait for cheaper supply. The land data shows the exact opposite. In this reel, I break down why sequential land releases don't dilute pricing they ratchet it up. But more importantly: why buying

When 212 buyers commit a median S$3,140 psf in cash and signed caveats, that isn't analyst sentiment. That is an executed market clearing price. With Amberwood at Holland previewing from S$2,945 psf, the knee-jerk reaction is to ask whether sub-S$3,000 psf in District 10 is "aggressive.&

Developers just bet hundreds of millions that you'll pay top dollar for a condo in 2028. What if they're wrong? New condos typically launch about 15 months after developers win land. So this year's record bids will hit the market just as some analysts warn sentiment could soften.

Foreign buying of Singapore condos is down over 95%. Yet your upgrade hasn’t gotten a single dollar cheaper. This reel breaks down why the “wait for foreign-exit discounts” narrative misreads who actually sets prices in the OCR/RCR new launch segment you can buy into. The hidden trap isn’t he

The Government is studying factories under homes. It sounds like urban planning. It’s about your money. New Upper Changi Road just hit $1,537 psf ppr, an OCR record. Dairy Farm Walk was $962 psf ppr in January. Same region, eight months, roughly 60% more. Land is the biggest input into launch pr

Two condos. Almost the same psf. One sold 99% in a weekend. The other couldn't move a quarter. The difference wasn't price. So what was it? Business Times called it: no longer a rising tide. 2,300 new homes are coming in Q4. Every project must earn its demand. Falling take-up rates

More supply usually means cooler prices. In Punggol, it may do the opposite. Everyone’s talking about the 8,400 new homes coming to Punggol East. But most people are reading the headline wrong. The risk isn’t that prices will drop. It’s that they already moved at the land stage years before

A mother paid every cent for a $2M home. The High Court said she couldn’t sell it. This isn’t a one-off. Since 27 April 2023, any residential property bought by a trustee incurs 65% ABSD upfront. On a $2M condo, that’s $1.3M in cash, before any loan. Remission down to the child’s rate is possibl

Marina Square. Yishun 10. Orchard Central. Three commercial giants redeveloped in one week. This isn’t retail dying. Developers are rewriting how your next condo gets funded. In this reel, I break down why malls are suddenly turning into homes, and what that means if you’re considering an integr

Everyone’s celebrating the RTS completion like it’s the start of the rally. But the rally already happened and most people missed it. Woodlands 4-room flats went from $461,500 in 2022 to $550,000 this year. That’s almost $90k of appreciation baked in while the station was still a construction si
