I first heard of Jalan Baiduri when I was writing about Duku Road and Lorong Stangee.

In fact, before I visited, I thought the area only had condominiums, so I was very surprised to find a handful of landed […] The post Inside Balmoral Park: Rare Freehold Landed Homes With 1.6 Plot Ratio In District 10 first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

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.
