133# Are Developers About to Cut Prices? What You Need to Know About Upcoming Market Shifts|

NOTG - Nuggets on the Go by PropertyLimBrothers

In this episode of Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim and Yu Rong from PropertyLimBrothers explain the key drivers behind new launch pricing, buyer sentiment, and market trends in the Singapore real estate. They talk about how developers are adapting to the pressures of harmonisation policies, inflation, and shifting buyer behaviour, especially with interest rates falling and potential rate cuts ahead.

Hear about absorption risk, layout effectiveness, and evolving pricing benchmarks across OCR, RCR, and CCR segments. They also discuss how property valuation influences national morale and the strategic frameworks investors can use to avoid overpaying or getting stuck with stagnant assets. Drawing on the MOAT Analysis and past market cycles, find out why some investors might benefit from cutting losses, while others should stick with a clear exit plan.
If you’re navigating pricing risk, developer tactics, or new launch timing, this episode provides essential insights to help guide your next move in the market.
