About Keystone Real Estate

Keystone Real Estate is an independent Singapore property publication. We cover the things that actually move the market — cooling measures, Government Land Sales tenders, new launches, HDB resale, en-bloc, and the policy and legal detail buyers and sellers get wrong — and we put the data behind every story.

How we report

We track the primary sources directly: URA, HDB, MAS, IRAS, MOF, CEA and the major agencies and developers. Where a story was first reported elsewhere, we say so and link to the original. We write our own analysis in our own words, and we add our own numbers and charts so each piece stands on its own. We don’t republish other outlets’ articles, and we don’t reproduce paywalled reporting.

See our Editorial Standards for the full policy.

What you’ll find here

• Policy, decoded — ABSD, SSD, TDSR, LTV and the 15 years of cooling measures, explained and kept current.
• The market — new-launch and resale price trends by region (CCR/RCR/OCR), HDB resale, EC and landed.
• GLS & developers — how to read a land tender, and who’s building what.
• Dos & don’ts — the OTP/S&P process, stamp-duty traps, decoupling, the 99-to-1 crackdown, and the scams to avoid.

A note on accuracy

Property rules are date-sensitive and change often. We date-stamp rates and policies, but always confirm the current position against the relevant government source before acting. Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice.
