In 2021, I sold a District 11 landed home at a record price.
The comments came quickly:
“Too expensive.”
“Valuation doesn’t justify it.”
“Economy is weak — market will crash.”
One buyer ignored the noise and moved ahead decisively. He even invited me for a scrumptious dinner.
Fast forward to 2026, that same property is up at least $1.6 million.
l've learnt this over the years:
There will always be reasons not to act. Valuations, headlines, sentiment, fear. But prime assets such as freehold landed homes don’t wait for perfect conditions, and often rewards those who act - not those who debate.
Same market.
Different mindsets/lenses.
Very different outcomes.
Time doesn’t argue. It reveals.
I often wonder how those who hesitated back then are feeling about their property journey today.
