HDB resale flat prices have soared by over 50% since hitting a low point in the second quarter of 2019, despite the implementation of various government measures to curb demand. This surge in prices highlights a deeper issue: demand-side interventions are limited in their effectiveness when supply fails to meet the housing needs of the population.

In 2021, the government tightened the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for HDB loans on three occasions – in December 2021, September 2022, and August 2024.

Investing in a condominium has various benefits that make it an attractive option for investors. One of these advantages is the ability to use the property’s value to generate future investments. Many experienced investors capitalize on this by using their condos as collateral to secure additional financing for new ventures, effectively expanding their real estate portfolio.

By staying updated on market trends and making well-informed decisions, investors can unleash the full potential of condo investments and achieve long-term success.
