Is the Singapore Dream still within reach?

For generations, home ownership has been both an aspiration and investment strategy for Singaporeans but these days, many feel like the bar keeps getting raised. Between skyrocketing prices and tighter government policies, achieving that dream seems out of reach than ever before.

On our latest episode, we’re bringing together experts: Prof Kwan Ok Lee, Associate Prof & Dean's Chair at NUS, and Nicholas Huang, real estate consultant to debate whether the traditional property ladder most Singaporeans grew up with is still viable. Can average workers realistically expect to upgrade from an HDB flat to a condo over time? What about larger goals like retiring comfortably on investment properties? Is that not feasible anymore?

Hear the lively discussion on the realities of affordability, the challenges first-time buyers now face and how recent cooling measures may be reshaping the path to homeownership long-term. We also get candid insider perspectives on what barriers everyday Singaporeans now perceive and how policies could impact future generations.

Tune in as we dissect whether homeownership aspirations are being fundamentally disrupted or if with some strategic manoeuvring, the Singapore Dream can still come true with a little patience and planning. Listen now and don’t miss this insightful debate on the state of property and the future of housing in the Lion City.
