The Right Move 310 7 17 Aug 2026

Video description from @therightmovesg

The 15-month wait-out period is gone.

Good news, yes.

But before we assume HDB resale prices are going to the moon again, we need to look at the data that has not changed.

In this video, I break down why the rule was lifted now, what rising MOP supply means for HDB resale prices, and why the gap between HDB and private property prices may continue to widen.

I also explain a concept I call “Reverse FOMO”.

This happens when an upgrader keeps waiting, only to see the value of the private property they want rising faster than the HDB they intend to sell.

The longer they wait, the harder the upgrade may become.

More importantly, I break down what this rule change could mean for:

* Private-property owners looking to right-size
* First-time home buyers
* HDB upgraders
* Property investors

No right or wrong answer here.

The right move depends on your timeline, finances and what you are ultimately trying to achieve. The important thing is to understand which parts of the market may move first, and which fundamentals are unlikely to change.

If your situation does not fall neatly into one of these groups, leave your question in the comments. I’ll try my best to answer it.
