Listen Later

Wayne and Joanne, both 27 years old and earning $4,000 each, are ready to take the next big step—buying their first home. But with skyrocketing property prices and so many options, they’re unsure where to start. Should they go for a BTO, resale HDB, or a resale condo? What if they make the wrong decision?

 

In this episode of NOTG, George Peng, Phyllis Goh, and Yong Zhun from PropertyLimBrothers break down exactly what young couples need to consider before making their first property purchase. Understand how to prioritise capital gain and long-term planning, avoid common mistakes, and assess the pros and cons of different housing options. Learn why Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) matter, and find out how an investment portfolio comprising stocks and crypto could influence property selection.

 

If you fit the persona, are struggling with uncertainty and want clear, practical advice on buying your first home, this is the episode you don’t want to miss!
