When Centrale 8 was a new flat, you wouldn’t believe the amount of flak it got online. I still remember the gripes about how the 5-room flats could reach $880,000 (in 2011, no less), and later the slew of complaints which followed. But if there’s one thing DBSS flats have excelled in, it’s their ability to induce […] The post 5-Room Tampines HDB With Large Balcony Sold For A Record $1,068,000 first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

In fact, some of our most […] The post 5 Property Hotspots In Singapore You Did Not Know Were Built Over Graveyards first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Marshall Road connects East Coast Road to Dunman Road via a very short street, Pennefather Road. The road is well positioned in terms of access to amenities, with Dunman Food centre found at the end of Pennefather Road – so close enough to walk to but not so close that you’ll have to contend with […] The post We Toured A Convenient Freehold Landed Estate In The East From $4.1 Million first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

HDB flats have been shrinking in size over the years. More public housing needs to be built to accommodate Singapore’s growing population. Due to land scarcity, these homes need to be more compact, efficient, and carefully planned. Buyers with larger families who require more space often turn to older HDB flats for greater unit variety. […] The post 5 Rare HDB Flats Above 1,700 Sq Ft You Can Buy Right Now – From $850K first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

For many Singaporeans, homes in the Outside-Central Region (OCR) have long been the bread-and-butter choice of private property. It’s seen as the sensible, mass-market segment; condos here are defined by practicality, affordability, and the aspirations of HDB upgraders. But here’s the eyebrow-raiser: the once-distinct price gulf between the OCR and more “prime” areas is disappearing. […] The post Are Singapore’s Suburban Condos Still Affordable?

There’s a bit of irony in District 15, in that – while it’s known for smaller boutique condos – it’s also known for large private land parcels, like this one at Goodman Road. This is a newly furnished bungalow sitting on a massive 16,424 sq ft of freehold land (close to three tennis courts), with […] The post Rare 16,000 Sq ft Freehold Plot In D15 Hits The Market For $39M first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

The FIRE movement, short for Financial Independence, Retire Early, is attracting more people who want freedom from the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Real estate has long been a popular route to FIRE, offering rental income, capital gains, and control over one’s financial future. In 2025, though, the property landscape has shifted. Interest rates remain high, regulations […] The post Can Real Estate Help You Achieve FIRE in 2025? first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Not too long ago, one and two-bedder units were mainly properties for landlords. These smaller units were mostly prized for high rental yields, but were considered too small for family homes. At the most, a two-bedder was considered a stepping stone for young couples. Today though, a new pattern has emerged. From sales numbers in […] The post Why More Families Are Choosing Two-Bedders Over Bigger Properties in 2025 first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

The OCR has been the ultimate property tycoon speed-run for the past 10 years. Maybe it was some uncle or auntie who couldn’t stand the loud neighbour in block 117. Or maybe some couple wanted to stay closer to the CBD and thought “$1 million?
