Ron's Read

Queenstown saw both prices and volume ease in August 2026 — the kind of double softening that creates real negotiating room. Not a distressed signal, but sellers who priced optimistically may need to recalibrate. For buyers, this is a window — softening PSF is the better entry setup. Don't wait for the market to confirm the bottom. That 57% 3-Room lease-decay spread between the 90+ 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.
