#161 Oil Prices, New Launches & The Property Moves That Still Make Sense
Episode 176
Friday, 17 April, 2026
George Peng (Associate Investment Strategy Director), Ong Yu Rong (Associate Senior Investment Director), and Felicia Cai (Associate Senior Consultant) unpack how rising oil prices, global uncertainty, and shifting buyer sentiment could shape Singapore’s property market in the months ahead. From the real impact of negative macro news on prices, to how buyers should think about OCR launches, CCR relativity, and cut-off entry points, the conversation centres on the decisions that carry real weight. The team also breaks down why entry pricing still matters, how to assess launch opportunities like Bayshore and Vela Bay, and what makes a property strategy resilient when conditions turn less predictable. Rounding things off are practical golden nuggets on buying for own stay versus investment, weighing small landed homes against condos, and why a neutral consultant can help keep emotions in check when the right unit appears. 00:00 Intro 00:49 Analysis of upcoming launches 05:32 Advice for property buyers 10:09 Economic factors and market resilience 11:36 Impact of cooling measures 13:48 Strategic positioning and safe havens 19:26 Investment considerations and entry pricing 21:18 Small landed properties vs condos 24:46 Penthouse vs landed living 26:30 Golden Nuggets 32:51 Life balance and international perspectives 37:33 Global arbitrage and equity loans
