For the first time, home buyers can look forward to seven Plus projects and one Prime project in the Build-to-Order (BTO) sales exercise under a new classification framework. In total, HDB will offer 8,500 flats across 15 projects in nine HDB towns in the upcoming BTO sales exercise. This will be the largest number of projects launched in a BTO exercise to date. The number of new flats launched will also account for more than 40 per cent of the new HDB flat supply for 2024.  What are the key changes to the BTO scheme? How will the overhauled framework impact the resale market? Christine Sun, Chief Researcher and Strategist at OrangeTee & Tie shares with us more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At this year's National Day Rally, property measures were introduced to provide more financial support for buyers. For example, in a move to cool the HDB resale market, the maximum loan that home buyers can take from the Housing Development Board to purchase their flats will be tightened starting August 20. Debra Teng, Group Associate Director at real estate firm Orangetee, explains what some of these updated measures mean. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recently, 800 flat owners got into trouble when the Housing Development Board (HDB) took action against them for flouting regulations like not fulfilling the minimum occupation period and unauthorised rentals. On Viewpoint, Debra Teng, Group Associate Director from real estate firm, Orangetee, gives her take on this and shares more about what you can and cannot do with your HDB flat.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transforming the real estate agency business to better relate to customers and tap demand from younger homebuyers. That's what we're going to talk about today. Launched in February 2000, our guest OrangeTee aspires to be a reputable, dynamic and fast growing real estate enterprise in Singapore.  The firm prides itself on building trust and long-term relationships and its ability to embrace the old and new to thrive in the realty space.  More notably, the associate agencies of OrangeTee and Edmund Tie & Company had in 2017 merged to form OrangeTee and Tie, a move that puts the workforce of the combined entity of over 4,050 property agents.  Now, OrangeTee is an interesting company to look at because of a number of things. First of all, the company had a leadership reshuffle at the start of this year, where it appointed a new CEO, Justin Quek, who thereafter headed a brand refresh at the company in a bid to underline the firm's commitment to simplify the real estate experience.  More importantly, the firm also appears to be on the charm offensive to tap a growing group of younger homebuyers and increase productivity.  One way it is doing so, is by engaging younger property agents and enabling agents to increase the transaction size of their deals. It is also in the midst of an internal revamp to make the once “agent-centric” business a more “consumer-centric” one, with a consumer-focused “Property Festival” in store for Q3.  But how much money can the firm unlock by tapping the younger demographic and what challenges does the company face given the amount of cooperation needed from its thousands of agents to transform the way the firm sells houses? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Justin Quek, Chief Executive Officer, OrangeTee.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Singapore continues to evolve as a dynamic city, so do the different trends that shape its urban landscape. One such trend is the rise of mixed-use developments in recent years. In the first five months of 2024, more than 50 per cent of government land sales (GLS) sites were awarded for mixed-use purposes. What is fueling this trend? What are three main things that buyers need to consider, if they are interested to find out more about mixed-used developments? Debra Teng, Group Associate Director from real estate firm, Orangetee, shares her thoughts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's competitive landscape, having insights and real-time intelligence is crucial to navigate the market and meet growing demands. Enabled by technology, property platforms gather data and convert it into data-driven insights for their potential customers. With prospective buyers more empowered today with an abundance of data and insights, where does this leave real estate agents, and how do property companies stand out and differentiate themselves from the competition? On Industry Insight, Justin Quek, CEO of real estate agency OrangeTee contributes enriching insights and elaborates on the true value proposition of real estate agents in the current market. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new CEO of OrangeTee & Tie, Justin Quek, sheds light on Singapore's property outlook for 2024, covering market highlights, interest rate cuts, developer strategies, transformation in the west side, like the Jurong Lake District, as well as Chinatown and buyer sentiments and preferences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In recent years, there's a growing trend of the middleman getting sidelined in many sectors. From real estate to finance, we're cutting out these go-betweens.

New private home sales have reached their highest point within 6 months. Compared to April, the figure for sold flats is double and even 51.5% higher than last year. At the same time, there seems no ease in the surge of housing prices among condominiums and HDBs.
