As we cross the second half of 2022, our government has unveiled several new GLS sites, that will lead to the resurfacing of en bloc activities. That being said, how will the release of land sales and its correlation with developers and their land banks affect the future of property prices? In today's episode of Nuggets On The Go Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers will also share some interesting records of the trends of sellers and their properties over the years.

In the second quarter, resale HDB flats' prices increased 2.6% compared with 2.4% in the first quarter While prices for private residential properties rose 3.2%, which is an almost five times increase of the 0.7% inflation in the previous quarter. In tandem, rentals have also increased by 20-40%. We ask Alan Cheong, Executive Director of Savills Singapore why the Singapore property is so hot and will this trend continue.

The interest rates have been increasingly recently, and with its volatility comes concerns on how it is going to affect or influence the real estate market in Singapore. Singapore's real estate market also works uniquely; property prices rise despite the movement of interest rates. Thus, how can homeowners and property investors react to this situation? Fret not as on this episode on Nuggets on The Go, Melvin will give you our take on this by analysing past market movements based on the data from the team's research. Also, do look out as he shares more in what scenarios should homebuyers time (or not) the market in these times!

It's no secret that interest rates are on the rise. Michelle Martin finds out how this affects the local property markets, REITs and mortgages.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
