Should you wait or list now? I get this question almost daily from homeowners trying to time the market perfectly. Here’s what I’ve learned after years in Singapore’s property scene.

When there’s low supply in your neighbourhood, that’s your golden window. Fewer listings mean more eyeballs on your unit and potentially better offers. I regularly monitor the listings in different estates – some months you’ll see 20+ units in a single block, other times just 2-3. Guess which scenario works better for sellers?
Low interest rates are a seller’s best friend. When rates drop, buyers can qualify for larger loans, bringing more serious purchasers into the market. These aren’t just casual browsers – they are ready to move when they find the right place.
Families do most of their house-hunting during specific times: year-end school holidays and the weeks following Chinese New Year. Parents want to settle housing decisions before the new school year, and post-CNY brings that fresh-start energy where people make big life moves.
The absolute best time to sell? When your own plans are crystal clear.
I’ve seen sellers rush into the market because “conditions look good” but they haven’t figured out their next move. Others wait forever for the “perfect moment” while their life circumstances change. Neither approach serves you well.
Your timeline should drive your strategy, not market speculation. Whether you’re upgrading, rightsizing, or relocating, having clarity on your goals makes everything else fall into place.
Every seller’s situation is unique, and that’s exactly how your selling strategy should be. If you’re considering putting your HDB on the market, let’s sit down and work out a timeline that makes sense for you.
I will help you analyse your area’s current supply, understand how interest rates might affect your buyer pool, and identify the optimal timing based on your personal circumstances.
