MORE PROBLEMS ARISING IN SLOW PROPERTY MARKET 2026 / Singapore Property

The video discusses the challenges and dynamics of the Singapore property market in early 2026, based on the speaker's personal experiences and observations. The speaker highlights two main problem areas:

• Issues with Agents and Sellers (1:30): The speaker criticizes some agents for deceptive advertising practices, such as listing properties at unrealistically low prices to attract calls (3:04). He also notes that many sellers have unrealistic price expectations, making it difficult for agents to sell properties, especially when marketing costs are rising significantly (8:17). This leads to a chaotic market where agents lose money if units don't sell, creating a "hot soup" situation for both sellers and agents (9:25).

• Buyer Mindset and Behavior (10:01): The speaker observes that many buyers are not serious or urgent in the current slow market. They often use outdated information to negotiate prices (10:50) and are unwilling to commit to viewings or offers, often citing overseas travel or lack of time (23:45). This "CC Lulu attitude" (26:12) means properties, even good ones, can linger on the market if buyers are not decisive, and agents and sellers won't wait for non-serious buyers (21:24).

The speaker concludes that in this tough market, sellers need a realistic mindset, and both buyers and sellers must understand the market correctly to avoid making bad decisions in their property journey (28:31).
