1H2024 ✅ - Pleased to have attained a spot on the charts at the inaugural Huttons Group 1st Half 2024 Awards Celebration + Leaders Party. Appreciative that the company has decided to recognise our efforts at this juncture in the workyear in addition to the usual Annual Convention.

1H2024 saw me completing fewer transactions than what I would have liked. Was fortunate though to have had the opportunity to complete a few “larger” transactions. Made some big calls in terms of purchases and plans with a handful of friends. While quietly confident, Time will tell if they were the right decisions!

100% thankful to those who have placed their trust in me and have paved ways for me. Rest assured that I will always do my utmost best! Bring it on 2H2024! 😊

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of being invited to my friend/client's housewarming party and what a blast it was! This was many months in the making as the unit was purchased with an existing tenancy which has yet to be determined. Personally, I couldn't be happier for them. It is these moments that I value and treasure. Thank you very much for trusting me with the sale and purchase and heartiest congratulations on the spanking new space! Cheers to many splendid memories there! 🥂

The "cooling measures" have been a long time coming; unsurprising with the market breaking new ground month after month. Taking effect immediately, do we expect a knee jerk reaction in the market? Will this be a threat or opportunity for you?

Interesting development in the public housing market; remains to be seen how this plays out. Many knock-on effects, implications.

SINGAPORE: Buyers of future Build-to-Order (BTO) flats in prime locations will face a longer minimum occupation period (MOP) of 10 years, as part of a new model meant to keep housing in these locations accessible for Singaporeans, said the Housing & Development Board (HDB) on Wednesday (Oct 27). T

“Adaptive reuse is a way of building depth to a nation; physically, intellectually, socially. As a young country, we’re still in the process of generating depth.

The stories, emotions, and communities of an older building add an intangible value and build a richer urban fabric. More so than the current Tabula Rasa approach.”

What do we lose when we pulverise the past? Our writer explores the heritage movement to conserve our modernist buildings.

Undeniably the star-performing segment due to its scarcity and aspirational qualities, what a year it has been thus far.

“More wealthy Singaporeans are snapping up landed property because they feel it’s the best store of wealth,” says Ray Teo of PropNex
