Preparing for a Property Upturn: Trends and Pitfalls in Real Estate Investments

by Ku Swee Yong

The property market goes through cycles, and an investor needs to understand market conditions for a balanced view on opportunities and risks. But how can one sift through the noise and formulate a clear strategy? Respected market analyst and fifth-time author Ku Swee Yong looks at market trends, explains the impact of government policies and dispels common misconceptions. The lead articles delve into how the residential sector will be affected by the ageing population and the expiry of many HDB flats’ 99-year lease, and offer suggestions for the Concept Plan 2021. Others sketch out how the property landscape will be affected by changes in the retail scene, the adoption of FinTech, the rise of co-working & co-living spaces. Preparing for a Property Upturn provides an exciting overview of the current and future real estate issues. Whether you are seeking local or regional prospects, investors and market practitioners alike will benefit from perspectives which are backed by extensive data and research.

The book is a collection of essays by the author, who is a part-time property agent. It's no wonder the book advocates the value of property agents.

Having said that, I find the property market analysis based on the macrotrends e.g. economy, immigration, and population, refreshing and pretty spot-on.
