2026 Property Market Outlook: Key Moves Investors Must Make

Описание: Singapore’s property market is no longer in its infancy—it’s maturing, and with that comes a new set of rules for investors, homeowners, and upgraders alike. In this episode of NOTG, Melvin Lim unpacks the broader macroeconomic signals that are quietly shaping the 2026 landscape. From interest rate reversals and liquidity shifts to central bank policies and their downstream effects on asset pricing, this episode bridges global economics with ground-level real estate strategy.

Melvin Lim, Co-Founder and CEO of PropertyLimBrothers, takes you through the real-world implications of quantitative easing and tightening, how money supply affects real estate inflation, and why investors need to start seeing property not just as a home—but as an inflation-resilient asset class. With fewer new launches forecasted in 2026, and a significant volume of unsold inventory from 2024 and 2025, developers are recalibrating their bidding strategies and unit configurations. At the same time, resale sellers—especially those holding 1-bedders—are facing longer wait times and pricing pressure, while buyers shift focus towards larger, more functional units that deliver long-term utility and stronger exit value.

Against this backdrop, he introduces new frameworks to help you navigate this next phase. He breaks down how to calculate your purchase quantum in a rising asset economy, why TDSR remains a key gatekeeper for expansion, and what to prioritise if you’re aiming to move from one property to a multi-unit portfolio. This isn’t just another forecast—it’s a recalibration of strategy in a maturing market, delivered with clarity, data, and forward-thinking insight. If you’re serious about positioning yourself for the next cycle, this is where the conversation starts.
