    The Resale Room: The Real Reason HDB Resale is Slowing in 2026

    For the first time in seven years, HDB resale prices have fallen for two straight quarters — while private home prices keep climbing. In this episode of The Resale Room, Harvey Chia is joined by his co-hosts to unpack what's really happening beneath the headline. The panel walks through 20 years of HDB price data — a run-up, seven flat years, then a post-COVID surge now cooling on a wave of incoming supply. Quintino shares his own EM story: bought in 2018 for around $600K, sold above a million, and why timing and rarity beat the market. They dig into the real drivers of the slowdown — new BTO, Plus and Prime flats pulling first-timers away, the 15-month wait-out rule, tighter LTV limits, and a flood of MOP flats hitting resale through 2028. Also covered: whether private is genuinely more defensible than HDB, why million-dollar flats keep breaking records, and the BTO trap most buyers underestimate — long construction waits, MOP periods up to 10 years, and clawback of up to 20% on Prime flats. The throughline: the one resource you can't replicate is time. Featuring Harvey Chia, Viv Yeow, Teng Tan and Quintino Cassano Lee.

    The Resale Room: The Real Reason Your Property Isn't Selling in 2026

    Resale condo listings are sitting on the market almost twice as long as they were three years ago. In the first episode of The Resale Room, Harvey Chia is joined by three new co-hosts to unpack why — and what sellers and buyers can actually do about it. The panel breaks down the 15-month rule and its effect on private downgraders, why the whole 2026 market feels slower across HDB, condo and landed, and the hardest conversation an agent has to have with a seller: your unit isn't moving because it's priced wrong. Also covered: whether PropertyGuru alone is still enough, AI walkthrough videos versus physical staging, seasonality and the June lull, and why a listing that sits too long makes every competing unit look like a bargain. Featuring Harvey Chia, Viv Yeow, Teng Tan and Quintino Cassano Lee.
