#95: Herd Mentality Buying, Downpayment Saving Tips & Condo TOP Impact in 2027
Myths and misconceptions often hold buyers back in Singapore’s property market, leaving many unsure of how to maximise returns or navigate rising costs effectively. This week on Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim, George, and Yu Rong from PropertyLimBrothers explore deep into the strategies that help investors and upgraders navigate key decisions.
They talk about the impact of “coordinated psychology” in new launches, the importance of harmonised floor plans, and why focusing on quantum over PSF can lead to better investment outcomes. They also discuss practical challenges such as saving for down payments, managing the resale versus new launch debate, and reframing monthly instalments as “forced savings” for HDB upgraders. Tackling whether fully paying for property is the best move, the episode provides insights into balancing financial commitments with long-term returns.
Learn about the alternative strategies for buyers, practical financial planning approaches, and the impact of shifting interest rates on Singapore’s property market. All these and more on this episode!
