SEVEN PALMS SENTOSA COVE

Most Singapore homeowners would have heard the saying that property is a hedge against inflation. It sounds straightforward: when the cost of everything goes up, property prices should go up too. There is some truth to this, but the actual relationship is much more interesting. Inflation can support property values over the long term because […]

When buying a home, most people naturally prefer a low interest rate. After all, a lower mortgage rate means a smaller monthly instalment and less interest paid to the bank. So it seems logical that when home loan rates are low, it must be a good time to buy property. But is it really that […]

Buying an HDB flat is not just about choosing a property. Your eligibility, grant amount, and purchasing options depend largely on the scheme under which you are buying. Many buyers are familiar with grants such as the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG), Family Grant, and Proximity Housing Grant (PHG). However, fewer realise that these grants […]

They think: “If one agent can bring buyers, then five agents should bring more.” On the surface, this makes perfect sense. You want maximum exposure. You want your property in front of as many […]

There is a psychological phenomenon in real estate known as the Price-Time Paradox. It begins with a simple, seemingly harmless phrase: “Let’s just test the market.” or “Let’s just price higher for a start.”  On the surface, it feels like a low-risk experiment.
