If interest rates go up, should you wait for property prices to come down before buying?

In the previous round of rate hikes, the 3-month SORA average went from about 0.16% in Q4 2021 to about 3.74% in Q4 2023.
Over the same two years, URA's non-landed price index rose about 15.3%.

So should you still wait? And either way, how do you prepare for higher rates without having to predict whether they will arrive?

I've seen clients make this decision through the high rates of 2023. I work through the numbers in this video.

What's next for new homes in 2027?

Lentor Central's 2026 site went for about S$1,278 psf ppr, roughly 39% above the S$920 for Kingsford's 2025 Lentor Gardens site.

But does land cost alone explain what buyers will pay? What should you compare before waiting for next year's launches?

I compare the sites, forecasts and resale alternatives in this week's video.

Throwback — November 2023

It's ok if it takes longer than you expect to find a property.

Here's the story.

I first met my client in May 2022, where we looked around then available properties in Bartley Vue and One Pearl Bank, before deciding that she still preferred Ang Mo Kio and Upper Thomson area due to the familiarity of the neighborhood.

Then in July 2022, we tried balloting for AMO residences, but didn't get a good ballot number for the unit size that we wanted.

The next project that launched in the area was Lentor Modern in Sept 2022. We tried - but this time the ballot number was even further behind.

With the next launch in the area in 2023, we took a break from house hunting which provided a good recharge, and then we continued.

In June 2023, we tried looking at resale units in the area, but found that they didn't suit our liking.

Then in July 2023, Lentor Hills Residences launched and we tried - For the third time, to get a ballot number.

I still remember first receiving the news and then delivering it to my client, and on unit selection day, we finally made a purchase for a very good unit.

I don't believe that my story is unique, but i think it's something that people need to hear more often. It's not always easy finding a property, expect emotional rollercoasters along the way but you'll find something in the end.

Because it's after all hard earned money and it's a space where you might have to live for years.

Happy to also be able to find fulfillment in my job, and onwards to more.

Secured a 2b2b at Thomson Reserve for my client in his 20s starting his capital building journey.

6 months of understanding the market, looking at alternatives and also having to had some luck (or unluck) with balloting.

What's important was that we spar-ed through ideas, looked at trade-offs, studied what people were paying for resale properties in the Upper Thomson area and did not deviate away from the walkaway price that we agreed on during the purchase.

With the stellar launch day sale for the project, the market has also spoken about the value it has placed in the development, and developer prices at launch were also fair imo when we look across the different stacks and levels for the unit type.

Always a blessing to be able to walk through this journey with my clients.

HDB resale prices fell 0.2% in the Q3 2026 flash estimates. Private prices rose 1.4%.

If you're upgrading, what could that mean for the gap between selling your flat and buying a condo?

I look at the numbers and interest rates in the video below.
