Ron's Read

PSF softened 11.0% in September 2026 while transaction count held reasonably steady. Price softness without a volume collapse is sellers adjusting, not distress. For buyers, this is a window — softening PSF is the better entry setup. Don't wait for the market to confirm the bottom. That 56% 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.
