Ron's Read

Hougang held its pricing in July 2026 with minimal movement. That kind of stability reflects a balanced market — neither side holds strong leverage. Anchor to recent comparables on both sides. Sentiment isn't driving this market right now — data is. That 31% 5-Room lease-decay spread between the 80-89 and under-60 bands is the number to anchor any negotiation on a shorter-lease unit here — don't let a seller price a thinning lease like a fresh one.
