Manage episode 515360040 series 2936301
With $4 million to invest, should you secure a high-end condo or stretch into the landed segment?
Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers uses the Buying Power Triangle to explore how price thresholds, buyer profiles and exit potential interact in today’s property landscape. The $4.5 million mark emerges as a critical pivot—especially for those aiming to future-proof their real estate decisions.
Cooling measures like the 60% ABSD for foreigners have reshaped transaction volumes, pushing local buyers to the forefront. Melvin examines how this shift impacts the buyer pool, resale strategies, and why understanding the aspiration ladder matters more than ever when planning your next move.
If you're navigating property investment around the $4M mark, this episode offers grounded thinking on strategic positioning and long-term exit planning.
