Published by Grace K | Real Estate As parents, we constantly think about our children’s future – their education, their well-being, and of course, having a stable home. For many Singaporean families, that home is a beloved HDB flat. It's where memories are made, birthday candles are blown out, and school projects come to life. But what happens when your HDB flat, like us, starts to get older? We've all heard whispers about leases running out and property values changing. A ne

Published by Chloe | Real Estate Every parent dreams of finding that perfect home – a safe, comfortable space where our kids can grow, learn, and make cherished memories. We browse online, chat with friends, and sometimes, a headline jumps out at us, like the recent one about a new BTO flat near town costing a whopping S$788,000 (even after some discounts!). It’s tempting to think, "Wow, that must be the best for my kids!" But as parents, our housing choices aren't just about

Published by Chloe | Real Estate Dreaming of a shiny new home for your family? Be warned: Singapore's latest condo sales are so fast, they could actually be a headache for parents. Imagine this: You see beautiful pictures of a brand new condo, imagine your kids playing in the sparkling pool, and picture a fresh start. But in Singapore right now, when a new condo hits the market, apartments are snapped up faster than ice cream on a hot day! While this might seem exciting, for

Published by Christian L | Real Estate As parents, raising a family in Singapore often means keeping one eye on the property market. Where will our kids grow up? Is a bigger space within reach? We all want the best for our children. You might have heard whispers of recent ups and downs in home sales. Let's cut through the jargon and see what September's dip – and October's expected boom – really means for your family's dream home. The Simple Truth: Imagine you're trying to bu

Published by Francis | Real Estate In Singapore, where every square foot counts, we obsess over the numbers. Square footage, bedroom count, and price per foot. But we often overlook the most powerful factor of all: the floor plan itself. The layout of your home isn't just about walls and doors; it's an invisible force that quietly directs your daily life, influencing your children's play, your family's connection, and your collective well-being. You aren't just buying an apar

Published by Matthew A | Real Estate As parents, we’re hardwired to plan ahead. We save for our children’s education, we think about their future schools, and we carefully consider the neighborhood we raise them in. For many of us, a key part of this long-term planning is property. Whether it’s upgrading to a larger condo for the growing family or investing in a second property for our children’s future, we see real estate as a pillar of financial security. We’ve all heard th

Published by CY Lau | Real Estate The HDB flat has long been more than just a home; it's a national icon, a cornerstone of asset-building, and for many, a lucrative investment. However, the landscape in 2025 is fundamentally different. We are witnessing a deliberate and strategic recalibration by the government to reinforce the primary purpose of public housing: stable, affordable home ownership. This isn't just a minor policy tweak; it's a philosophical shift ushering in a

Published by Christian L | Real Estate We heard the news on 3 July 2025. If you buy a residential property today, you’ll now need to hold onto it for four years instead of three to avoid paying a hefty Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD). The tax rates for selling within that period have also gone up. As parents, our property decisions aren't just about investment. They're about creating a stable home, planning for our children's future, and maybe even upgrading as our family grows. S
