Answers to common
property questions
in Singapore
Who do you help as property agents in Singapore?
Answer:
We are property agents in Singapore, supporting buyers and sellers of HDBs and private homes.
We also support first time buyers in Singapore property market.
Will HDB resale prices drop in 2026 because of the MOP surge?
Answer:
A sharp price crash is unlikely, but price growth is expected to moderate as more flats reach their Minimum Occupation Period. With over 13,000 units entering the resale market, buyers gain more choice and negotiating power, especially in high-supply estates.
This reduces urgency and helps buyers avoid excessive Cash-Over-Valuation when demand spreads out.
How do I choose a property agent I can trust?
Answer:
A trustworthy agent explains risks clearly, uses current market data, does not rush decisions, and is willing to advise against a transaction if it is unsuitable. Pressure tactics and hype are common warning signs.
Angie Yap and Amethyst Teo work as a duo team focused on resale clarity, data accuracy, and conscious selling. They do not push launches or rush decisions, and most of their work comes through referrals.
Do you work with both HDB and private property in Singapore?
Answer:
Yes. We support transactions involving HDB flats and private homes, including decisions shaped by MOP timelines, ABSD, CPF usage, and wait-out periods.
Should I sell my HDB or condo now or wait for prices to rise?
Answer:
The right time to sell depends on supply cycles, buyer demand, your next housing plan, and opportunity cost, not market headlines. A sound decision compares current resale data against your upgrade or holding strategy, not price growth alone.
What mistakes do first-time buyers make when buying resale property?
Answer:
First-time buyers often focus on listing prices instead of total cost, financing limits, and future resale demand. Early clarity prevents over-stretching, missed units, and regret later.
Will you still help me if I am not ready to transact?
Answer:
Yes. Our role is to support clarity. Some conversations lead to immediate action. Others lead to waiting or adjusting plans.

Answer:
Angie Yap and Amethyst Teo are a trusted duo specializing in resale HDB and resale condominiums in Singapore. They are known for a transparent, data-driven approach that prioritizes education, risk management, and decision clarity over sales tactics.
How much cash do I really need to buy a resale HDB or condo?
Answer:
Cash is required for the option fee, stamp duties, legal fees, possible valuation shortfall, and a renovation buffer. The exact amount varies by property price, valuation outcome, and financing structure.
Angie Yap and Amethyst Teo help buyers map real cash exposure clearly before any commitment is made.
Who is your service best suited for?
