What my customers say
Milson has taken notes on my requirements when I wanted to sell my 3rm unit and also took into consideration the period where I am not available in SG.
Discussed, prepared on timeline that was suitable to my needs. Able to negotiate with buyer's agents on all my requirements. With his advice to make some shift onto my furniture before he took pictures and filmed it, it made a difference on result.
I trusted him and left keys to him to arrange with potential buyers whenever needed. Within 2 weeks, he found a buyer who can accept all my requirements.
Without his professionalism and detailed planning, the deal will not be fast and smooth. Kudos to him and appreciate all his efforts. Will definitely recommend to my friends should they need to look for real estate agent.
Thank you, Milson.

Milson has been very professional and upfront on this pertaining to getting my property listed. He took great pains to take nice photos, editing and even doing up a video to market it during CB period a few years ago.
He's marketing efforts are very commendable! Thaaanks!

In the early hours of October 8, an explosion led to the collapse of two shophouses on Syed Alwi Road, injuring six people. This incident underscores the importance of structural integrity in older buildings. Many conservation shophouses in Little India, including those on Syed Alwi Road, were ...built between the late 1800s and early 1900s. These structures reflect Singapore’s history, serving as homes and shops for decades, and their preservation efforts seek to maintain historical value while ensuring safety.
Precautions for Shophouse Owners and Operators
To help prevent structural incidents, owners and operators should:
1. Schedule Regular Structural Inspections: The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) mandates periodic checks, usually every 5–10 years.
2. Undertake Prompt Repairs: Addressing issues like cracks or water damage promptly can prevent deterioration.
3. Monitor Floor Loading: Operators should respect the building’s load-bearing capacity to avoid stress on the structure.
4. Install Monitoring Systems: Tools such as tilt sensors detect early shifts or cracks.
5. Ensure Proper Insurance: Owners should cover structural insurance, while tenants insure their contents.
Insurance Responsibilities
Building insurance is typically the owner’s responsibility, covering structural damage and liability. Tenants are responsible for content and liability insurance specific to their activities.
Examples of Past Collapses in Singapore
Historical building collapses in Singapore emphasize the need for caution:
1. Hotel New World (1986)
2. Nicoll Highway (2004)
3. Geylang Lorong 4 (2016)
4. Upper Changi Road East (2017)
5. East Coast Road Shophouse (2021)
Regular inspections, timely maintenance, and adherence to structural guidelines help protect Singapore’s valuable conservation shophouses.
Singapore's HDB resale market continues to defy expectations. Even with a dip in transaction volume, resale flat prices maintained strong growth in September 2024. Here's a quick breakdown:
1. Price Growth Persists: Despite a 14.9% drop in volume compared to August, resale flat ...prices rose by 1.8%. This reflects continued high demand for HDB flats.
2. Year-on-Year Increase: Compared to September 2023, resale prices have risen a significant 10%. This upward trend is seen across both mature and non-mature estates.
3. Limited Availability: The limited availability of new flats, driven by shorter construction times due to the pandemic, is a major factor contributing to the price increase.
4. Million-Dollar Flats on the Rise: The trend of HDB flats crossing the million-dollar mark continues, with a record 328 such transactions in Q3 2024.
5. Uncertain Future: While the market remains buoyant, rising interest rates and potential economic headwinds could impact future price trends.
Do you think the HDB resale market will continue its upward trajectory, or are there factors that might cause a slowdown in the coming months?

Homeowners hoping for a reprieve on their mortgages might be disappointed. Analysts predict Singaporean banks are unlikely to cut mortgage rates significantly despite the US Federal Reserve's recent rate cuts. Here's a quick rundown:
1. Fed Rate Cuts Don't Guarantee Lower ...Mortgages: Although the US Fed is cutting rates, analysts say Singapore banks likely won't follow suit due to different economic circumstances.
2. Focus on Local Factors: Singapore's interest rate environment and domestic banking competition will play a larger role in influencing mortgage rates.
3. Limited Room for Movement: Banks might have limited room to lower rates due to factors like rising borrowing costs and managing their profit margins.
4. Focus on Fixed Rates: Analysts suggest potential homebuyers might benefit from considering fixed-rate packages to lock in a stable interest rate.
5. Long-Term Outlook Uncertain: The future of mortgage rates remains uncertain, with analysts advising caution and monitoring the evolving economic landscape.
6. Alternatives for Homebuyers: Potential homebuyers should explore various loan options and compare rates from different banks to secure the best possible deal.
Questions for Homebuyers:
Given the current mortgage rate environment, should you prioritize fixed-rate or variable-rate mortgages?
How can you prepare for potential interest rate fluctuations and ensure your financial stability?
By understanding the factors affecting mortgage rates and exploring available options, homebuyers can make informed decisions about their financial future.
Is this a mistake or someone is trying to think out of the box to make the figure very attractive?
S$8,000-a-month HDB flat rent ‘mistake’ prompts questions on data integrity

Developers held back on launches due to ...the Hungry Ghost month, while price-conscious buyers remained cautious due to high launch prices, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainties. Sales figures show a significant drop of 63.5% compared to July and 47% compared to August 2023. This is shaping up to be the weakest year for sales since 2008.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
1. Developer Caution: Hungry Ghost month and a cautious market led developers to postpone new launches.
2. Price-Conscious Buyers: High launch prices, rising interest rates, and economic concerns have made buyers more hesitant to commit.
3. Record Low Sales: Only 208 new private homes (excluding executive condominiums) were sold in August 2024, a stark contrast to previous years.
4. Weakest Year on Track: 2024 is shaping up to be the weakest year for new home sales since 2008, with sales down nearly 50% compared to the same period in 2023.
5. Impact of Government Measures: Recent government cooling measures, such as the Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) and Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR), have also played a role in dampening demand.
6. Economic Uncertainty: Global economic factors and geopolitical tensions have added to the overall uncertainty, influencing buyer sentiment.
7. Shifting Preferences: Changing demographics and lifestyle preferences may be influencing buyer behavior, leading to a preference for smaller units or different property types.
8. Potential for Recovery: While the market is currently subdued, interest rate cuts could potentially stimulate demand and revive sales in the coming months.
Overall, the Singaporean new home market is facing a challenging period. However, with the right conditions and policy adjustments, the market could rebound and regain momentum.
