Real Singapore transaction data — GDP cycles, condo absorption, net yield, the policy timeline. The reasoning we run before every recommendation. No fluff, no sales spin.
$600K in stocks gets you $600K of exposure. $600K in property controls a $2M+ asset — with CPF, rental income, and zero capital gains tax on top. The leverage advantage no equity market can match.
Read the data →Every Singapore recession since 1997 produced a 3–5 year appreciation window post-recovery. GDP per capita growth of 3.2% p.a. has historically predicted 4–6% property price appreciation. Land constraint + reserves = structural price floor.
Read the data →68% of "sell-out" launches still had units available 90 days later at the same price. The urgency is manufactured. Here's how to read the data and know when to act — and when to wait.
Read the data →Asset Appreciation Era (pre-2014) vs Ownership Stability Era (post-2014) are fundamentally different playbooks. Cooling measures broke velocity, not prices. The policy cycle is the edge most agents aren't selling you.
Read the data →RCR supply hasn't kept up with upgrader demand for 4 consecutive years. CCR demand stalls above $4,000 psf. 380 units across 6 projects where developers will blink in Q3 2026.
Read the data →4-room sellers are sitting on $200K+ equity most haven't calculated. And the new Standard / Plus / Prime framework quietly reshapes which flats stay liquid on resale. Location sets price; classification now sets the rules.
Read the data →Landed supply mathematically cannot grow. The 65% foreigner ABSD permanently repriced landed as a local-first asset class in 2023. Yield is low — but the capital-preservation case is the strongest in Singapore property.
Read the data →D14 leads at 4.3% gross — but high yield always comes with a reason. The 3.5–4% band is where income AND appreciation coexist. Gross yield is the starting number. Net yield decides whether you actually cashflow.
Read the data →Appreciation isn't luck — it tracks government-committed rail, jobs and land. We scored all 28 districts on the Master Plan. The top is Jurong (97), Tengah (94) and Woodlands (93) — not Orchard.
Read the data →A new launch enters at the start of the price ramp; resale buys in after it. Add CPF accrued interest, progress-payment cashflow, and the exit-undercut problem — and the gap is wider than the sticker price. But resale still wins for some buyers.
Read the data →Leasehold posts higher percentage gains than freehold across CCR, RCR and OCR since 2000 — but that's a base-effect trick, and the data window predates the part of the lease that bites. Yield vs capital preservation, decoded.
Read the data →Homes within 1km of a popular primary school command measurable premiums — one project ran ~$524 psf above a comparable neighbour further out. But when a top school relocated, prices fell 8.5–12.2%. Real, and conditional.
Read the data →From 2025, a rented home is taxed 12% rising to 36% of Annual Value — every year, on top of ABSD at entry and the tightened 4-year SSD at exit. It compresses net yield directly, and the gross-yield headline hides it.
Read the data →3-month SORA fell from ~3% to ~1.1% by mid-2026, fixed packages from ~1.35%. Your maximum loan didn't move. MAS floors affordability at 4% — so falling rates cut your monthly bill, not your budget. Here's what actually lifts your ceiling.
Read the data →Since June 2023, the rules changed how saleable area is counted. Developers lost ~5–6% of sellable space, repriced land by ~$100–120 psf, and passed it on. Post-2023 launches are more efficient but cost more per foot.
Read the data →Height sells, but it doesn't rent or resell proportionally. Penthouses carry view premiums and thin liquidity; normal floors carry deeper resale demand and usually higher yield. For pure return, the trophy unit rarely wins.
