DBS saw a 40% jump in home loans from buyers under 35 — but not for the reason you think. DBS home loans for under-35 buyers jumped 40% between 2024 and 2025. OCBC saw rising singles buying private homes too. These buyers aren't sounding euphoric. In my conversations, they sound genuinely worried. They fear that in a few more years, certain locations will permanently slip out of reach. Covid supercharged this fear — prices surged across HDB resale, ECs, condos, and rentals all at once. This week's sales: 66% were resale, 32% new launches, and 2% sub-sale. Resale dominates. Young buyers aren't investing from greed — they're buying from fear of being permanently left behind. DM me your situation — I'll tell you if now is actually the right time for you to move.

Can't find a real family home under a million? I found five — all near MRT. Five oversized flats — jumbo, maisonette, executive apartment — all still under $1 million. First up — 531 Choa Chu Kang Street 51 at $888,888. Over 1,646 sq ft on the top floor. Here's the catch — it's a 1993 flat. But the bones are incredible: open kitchen, merged bedrooms. The lowest price per square foot is $479 psf — 558 Jurong West Street 42 at $820,000. The maisonettes at Jurong East and Tampines come with stairs — proper two-storey living inside an HDB. The biggest is 128 Marsiling Rise — 1,863 sq ft with an island kitchen and walk-in wardrobe at $950K. Sizes like this don't exist in new launches. DM me and I'll send you all five listings right now.

Singapore industrial sales just hit their lowest volume since 2020 — but not all assets are losing. Strata industrial deals fell 17.5% q-o-q — only 335 transactions, the lowest since 2020. Buyers are still spending — but only on assets with stronger fundamentals and longer-term value. 30-year leasehold values fell 0.6%, while freehold assets rose 2.9% in the same quarter. Logistics rents held up, rising 0.4% — but prime factory rents slipped 1.4% as occupiers got picky. Savills projects 0 to 2% rental growth for factories and 0 to 1% for warehouses in 2026. Want the full Savills breakdown? DM me and I'll send the data your portfolio needs.

60% of EC buyers rely on DPS — and it's about to disappear forever. MND just removed DPS for all EC sites from 1H2026 GLS onwards — a major financing change. But 5 upcoming ECs are still exempt — together delivering around 1,970 units with DPS still intact. CDL leads with two launches: Woodlands Drive 17 at S$782 psf ppr and Senja Close at S$771 psf ppr. Sim Lian's Woodlands Drive 17 hit a record S$794 psf ppr — analysts expect prices above S$1,800 psf. Sembawang Road could be Singapore's first low-rise EC — and its land rate came in below S$700 psf ppr. These 5 ECs are your last shot at DPS. Want the full unit breakdown? DM me before your window closes.

HDB resale prices just dropped — first time since 2019. The Resale Price Index fell 0.1% in Q1 2026 — buyers finally have the upper hand. 13,500 flats hit MOP in 2026 — nearly double last year's 8,000. Mega-projects like Tampines GreenVerge flood the market with 2,022 units at once. Sellers who overprice today get skipped — buyers simply walk to the next block. No Cash Over Valuation means you keep $30,000 — fund your renovation, debt-free. Get your HFE letter now — DM me and I'll walk you through the full 2026 buyer playbook.

A Henderson Road HDB just sold for $1.728 million — a new Singapore record. That's $1,728,000 for a 5-room flat on the 46th floor with unblocked city views. But not everyone wins. Buyers now face the steepest HDB prices in history. Two new launches dominated sales: Tengah Garden Residences sold 851 units at $2,120 psf. Vela Bay on the coast hit 72% sold on day one at $2,886 psf — the top unit cleared $3,302 psf. In the condo resale market, Normanton Park led rentals with 69 deals at avg $6.2 psf monthly.

The government just doubled the EC minimum occupation period — from 5 years to 10. Old rule: sell after year 5. New rule: locked in until year 10 — full privatisation only at year 15. Here's the conflict: EC prices rose 120% in a decade — yet first-timers dropped to just 30-40% of buyers. Who gets hurt? HDB upgraders lose the deferred payment scheme — no more overlap buffer on two loans. Who wins? First-timers get 90% of units reserved for 2 full years — up from 70% for just 1 month. So EC vs private condo — with a 10-year lock-in, EC's investment flexibility is now much closer to a resale flat. Want the full EC vs private condo breakdown? Drop a comment and I'll send you the comparison sheet.

Singapore just flooded the market with 4,575 new homes — your wallet is about to feel it. The URA 1H 2026 Confirmed List has 4,575 units — that is 50% above the 10-year average. That 50% surge forces developers to compete — meaning launch prices must stay honest. On a $2 million home, a 5% price moderation saves you $100,000 — that is a decade of groceries. A smaller loan principal over 30 years means tens of thousands less in interest too. But don't wait forever — rising construction costs set a real floor on how low prices can go. Want the full purchase and sale calculation for your budget? Drop a comment and I'll run the numbers.
