East side girlie, checking in 🌊

If you’ve been watching the Bedok–Bayshore stretch like I have, 2026 has been WILD. In the span of 18 months we’ve had FOUR government land tenders in this one corridor — and the prices keep climbing:

📍 Vela Bay (Bayshore Rd) — $1,388 psf ppr → launched Apr 2026, sold 72% at $2,886 psf
📍 Bedok Rise (Allgreen) — $1,330 psf ppr, doorstep to Tanah Merah MRT
📍 Bayshore Drive (Frasers-led) — $2.128B, the precinct’s future mall + ~1,280 homes
📍 New Upper Changi Rd (UOL/CapitaLand/SingLand) — just closed at a RECORD $1,537 psf ppr

Same MRT line. Same growth story. Very different entry points — I broke it all down side by side (swipe ➡️).

If you love the east as much as I do and you’re thinking about your next move here, save this post or drop me a DM — happy to walk you through which one actually fits your goals. 🏡

A buyer DM’d me this morning asking if he could buy private property before his HDB’s MOP ends — as long as he “intends” to sell after. He’s not alone in thinking this. Here are 3 property myths I keep having to correct, and why getting them wrong isn’t just embarrassing — it’s expensive (or worse, HDB can take your flat back). Watch till the end. DM “SELL” or “RESALE” and let’s talk through your specific situation.

I have been telling my clients on the fence waiting to seriously look at LUCERNE GRAND!

After studying the project properly, here are 5 reasons why I’m telling some of them to seriously consider Lucerne Grand— from the Jurong Lake District transformation, to a supply-demand gap most people haven’t clocked, to why comparing PSF the way most Singaporeans do (🍚 like cai fan prices) is actually misleading you.

Not saying it’s for everyone. But it’s one of the launches I’m watching closely this year.

Want my full breakdown — estimated launch prices, best stacks to watch, and whether it fits your budget? Comment or DM “LUCERNE” and let’s chat

One of my TOP picks this year!

Is Thomson Reserve Even That Good?

Key concepts:
- Ground floor 3BR premium (blocked) or High floor 2BR (unblocked view)?
- 3BR Compact (High Floor|River View) or 3BR Premium (Low Floor|Blocked View)
- Low Floor vs High Floor - what is the threshold difference %?

1. How long do you need to generally hold for Thomson Reserve?

2. What is the track record of Thomson Reserve?

3. How to spot profitable units in TR?

4. What fatal flaws to avoid in TR especially in the hype and peer pressure?

Let’s chat! Dm me!

Today Tien Tips 💡 — Refinancing edition
When you refinance, always negotiate for the “sale without penalty” clause. It means if you need to sell during your lock-in period, you won’t get hit with early redemption fees.
Most people don’t know to ask — so ask.
Save this for when you refinance. More tips every week 👇

Not every listing is the easy kind. 🏠
Low floor, awkward layout, dated facilities — these don’t have to mean your unit sits forever.
The difference is strategy: what you fix, how you price, how you run the viewing.
DM “SELL” and I’ll give you the honest read on your unit — no sugarcoating.

Big Change in HDB policy! Many are rejoicing!

As of 28 July 2026, the 15-month wait-out period for private owners buying a non-subsidised HDB resale flat is officially removed. No HDB loan, no wait — you can buy first and sell your private property within 6 months.

MND says it’s about flexibility for right-sizers and seniors. My take? This also frees up owners who’ve been sitting on bigger private units, waiting for exactly this moment to move.

Still need an HFE letter. Still can’t touch an HDB loan or grants if you want to skip the wait. Full breakdown in the video.

DM “RESALE” if you’re thinking about buying HDB without the wait or if you’re sitting on a private unit and want to talk timeline.
