You read that HDB resale prices have fallen for three consecutive quarters. Then you see another flat selling for more than $1 million. Meanwhile, private home prices are rising again. If you are thinking of selling, buying or upgrading, these headlines can leave you wondering: should I move now, wait, or lower my […]

    Thomson Reserve has a lot going for it. Upper Thomson MRT. Thomson Plaza. Proximity to Ai Tong School. A large site with extensive facilities. And a wide selection of units from 2-bedroom apartments to large 5-bedroom suites. But after visiting the showflat and studying the different layouts, our biggest takeaway wasn’t whether Thomson

    When buyers compare new launches in Singapore, one number tends to dominate the conversation: PSF. $2,500 psf sounds cheaper than $2,800 psf. $2,800 psf sounds cheaper than $3,000 psf.

For many homeowners, the immediate reaction was understandable. “Does this mean I should right-size now?” “Will resale HDB

    Every time another million-dollar HDB is sold… It becomes headline news. People immediately split into two groups.
