High Point’s unchanged S$580 million price puts Orchard redevelopment risk back on trial
The sixth collective-sale attempt preserves owners’ expectations for the Mount Elizabeth site. It also exposes the harder question left by the previous failed campaign: whether a developer can make the numbers work.
Bedok’s S$1.425 Billion Land Bid Raises the Stakes Before Any Sale Is Awarded
The New Upper Changi Road tender reveals unusually strong developer conviction, but neither the land sale nor a near-S$3,000 psf launch has been confirmed.
Higher HDB income ceilings may widen the resale market unevenly
The new $16,000 ceiling and removal of the 15-month wait-out period enlarge different buyer pools. Scarce large and well-located flats could feel the pressure first, while the wider market retains important brakes.
August’s 201 Million-Dollar HDB Sales Reveal a Premium-Market Divide
Removing the 15-month wait made right-sizing easier for eligible private-home owners. The immediate record, however, reflects concentrated demand for scarce flats—not proof of a market-wide resurgence.
District 19’s S$5.17 million landed median conceals three different markets
Scarcity has lifted the district-wide benchmark, but Kovan frontage, Serangoon Gardens’ planning envelope and Hougang’s evolving connectivity still produce sharply different property risks.
Yishun 10’s 110-home replacement will intensify the MRT hub, not transform the whole estate
The confirmed mixed-use redevelopment puts private housing on an exceptionally connected parcel. Its larger consequence is a denser Yishun Central—not a town-wide property price reset.

Hougang, Serangoon and Sengkang are gaining transport links, housing and green connections, but their effect on landed values will turn on walking routes, construction exposure and what changes beside each plot.
New Upper Changi Road’s S$1,537 psf ppr bid signals conviction — not yet a land award
The UOL–CapitaLand Development–SingLand consortium has outbid three rivals for the Bedok parcel. Its unusually wide lead matters, but it does not confirm launch prices or an estate-wide uplift.
The Serra Residences Pairs 133 Freehold Homes With Big-Estate Facilities
The 50-metre pool and tennis court give the upcoming Novena project a clear point of difference. Its real test will be how much space—and recurring cost—each household carries.
Geylang’s 4.11% One-Bedroom Yield Comes With a Persistent Discount
Selected District 14 apartments turn relatively modest capital values into efficient rental income. The harder question is whether vacancy, upkeep and resale constraints adequately explain the apparent advantage.
Marina Square’s 49-storey condo is only one part of a wider district reset
The 204 luxury homes will attract attention, but the rebuilt mall, new public spaces and better pedestrian links will determine whether the 2031 project materially improves Marina Centre for owners and buyers.
