Join us as we dissect the critical turning point in Singapore's private rental market. After a year of correction in 2024, the first quarter of 2025 marked a shift to stabilization, but what's really driving this change? This episode unpacks the core catalyst: a dramatic and impending supply squeeze. With new private home completions set to plummet and the number of HDB flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period hitting a decade low, the balance of power is shifting back to landlords.  

We explore the emerging 'two-speed' rental market, where the suburbs (OCR) are leading the recovery, outpacing the central regions. Discover the surprising and powerful effect of the government's 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) on foreign buyers—a policy that, while cooling the sales market, has inadvertently created a strong foundation for the high-end rental sector by pushing potential buyers into the tenant pool.  

Whether you're a tenant navigating your next lease, a landlord setting your strategy, or an investor looking for opportunities, this deep dive provides the essential analysis you need to understand the forces shaping Singapore's rental landscape for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
