Now that you’re upgrading from your HDB, your fur kid finally has some room to run around; or you can finally adopt a massive doggo that’s twice the size of your spouse. But while there are no HDB-like restrictions on…

The mental image that Singaporeans have of landlords is all wrong. If you’re like most people who have a second property to rent out, you’ll know what we mean: everyone visualises you as a towkay who can sit back and…

I’m sure most of you would know the drill by now when it comes to general new launch pricing. Small units equals higher PSF, big units equals lower PSF. In the past few years where there has been added emphasis…

If you’re like most Singaporeans, you have at some point tried to plan out your “final home”, the property where you’ll live out your twilight years. And like most of us, you’ve probably found it quite tricky: is it better…

It wasn’t all too long ago that some of these OCR condos would have been described as “far-flung”. But for some, with the ever-reaching networks of the MRT or the “positive” effects from Covid-19 (the ability to work from home,…
