Curated project facts, indicative pricing and honest analysis—so you compare new launches with clarity, not hype.
Before recommending any new launch, Karen listens first. She then cross-checks developer track records, location fundamentals, unit efficiency and pricing against comparable resale transactions. The goal is not to sell a unit, but to help you decide whether the project fits your timeline, finances and long-term plans.

Read market updatesThe typical timeline starts with preview and e-application, followed by balloting, booking day, signing the Option to Purchase (OTP), and later the Sale & Purchase Agreement within the stipulated window. Progressive payments then continue through construction until Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP).
Upfront cash outlay includes the booking fee (commonly 5% of the purchase price in cash), stamp duties and legal fees. CPF can be used for the balance down payment and subsequent progressive payments, subject to CPF valuation limits and your available Ordinary Account savings.
The Option to Purchase (OTP) secures the unit for a fixed period, usually with a 5% booking fee. The Sale & Purchase Agreement (S&P) is the formal contract signed after exercising the OTP, typically within 14 to 21 days, with the remaining down payment due then.
Singapore citizens pay no Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on a first residential property, while second and subsequent properties attract higher ABSD rates. Permanent residents and foreigners face higher ABSD tiers. ABSD is payable within 14 days of signing the S&P and can significantly affect total cash required.
It depends on your timeline, cash flow and preference for certainty. New launches offer a fresh lease and progressive payments, but require waiting for TOP. Resale lets you inspect the actual unit and move in sooner, though the lease is shorter. Karen compares both options against your goals before recommending.
Tell Karen what you are looking for. She will come back with relevant projects, a financing sense-check and an honest view on whether a new launch makes sense for you.
