I just found out something interesting about landed homes in Q1 this year: they’ve officially breached the $2,000 psf mark. If you’re thinking, “What? So low?”—It’s not. Not for landed property.

Mortgagee listings were up as of Q1 2025. Also referred to as distressed properties, these are homes that have been foreclosed on. The rise in mortgagee sales is a bit unsurprising, given the volatile economy and the higher interest rates in end-2024, but if you’re thinking this is a chance to snag some cheap properties, don’t […] The post Distressed Property Sales Are Up In Singapore In 2025: But Don’t Expect Bargain Prices first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

One of the common beliefs in the Singapore property market, perhaps thanks to property influencers, is that you should always get two bathrooms for your two-bedder. This makes it easier for tenants (sharing one bathroom is less pleasant), and versatile enough for small families. The problem is, a two-bed, two-bath can sometimes cost quite a […] The post Where To Find The Cheapest 2 Bedroom Resale Units In Central Singapore (From $1.2m) first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

With new launches reaching prices of $2,600+ psf, it’s no longer uncommon for the “typical” quantum to reach $1.8 million even for a two-bedder.

A common suspicion among buyers is that realtors will always push new launch properties on them, whether or not it’s suited to their purposes.
