Prices have cooled from their post-pandemic surge, but not enough to calm nerves. Mortgage rates are lower, yet economic clouds linger. And even with HDB resale growth moderating, million-dollar flats are becoming routine rather than newsworthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words mb-4 md:mb-6\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-component\">In this week\u2019s\u00a0<em>PropertyBT<\/em>, a podcast of\u00a0<em>BT Correspondents<\/em>, host Leslie Yee sits down with PropNex co-founder and executive chairman Ismail Gafoor to make sense of the year ahead. Together, they parse through a lot, cutting from BTO supply to upgrader instincts, private-home hotspots and the quiet strength of landed homes, with Gafoor offering the kind of grounded read only a savvy, long-term practitioner can deliver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words mb-4 md:mb-6\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-component\">And with developers preparing a slimmer pipeline of new launches, the open question is whether 2026 will reward patience, boldness or something in between.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words mb-4 md:mb-6\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-component\"><strong>Why listen<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-outside list-disc mb-4 md:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-outside [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-decimal [&amp;&gt;ul]:pl-8 pl-8 md:pl-8\" data-testid=\"article-list-bulleted-component\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap text-xl\"><strong>HDB in a new gear: <\/strong>What\u2019s really behind the price moderation and how long it may last.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-outside list-disc mb-4 md:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-outside [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-decimal [&amp;&gt;ul]:pl-8 pl-8 md:pl-8\" data-testid=\"article-list-bulleted-component\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap text-xl\"><strong>The million-dollar question: <\/strong>Why these deals keep rising and why panic is optional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-outside list-disc mb-4 md:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-outside [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-decimal [&amp;&gt;ul]:pl-8 pl-8 md:pl-8\" data-testid=\"article-list-bulleted-component\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap text-xl\"><strong>Where condos run hot: <\/strong>The segments and districts that are set to draw the strongest demand in 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-outside list-disc mb-4 md:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-outside [&amp;&gt;ul]:list-decimal [&amp;&gt;ul]:pl-8 pl-8 md:pl-8\" data-testid=\"article-list-bulleted-component\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap text-xl\"><strong>Landed resilience explained: <\/strong>Why this segment stays firm even as households shrink and rates shift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words mb-4 md:mb-6\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-component\">Yee keeps the conversation grounded, and Gafoor keeps it candid.
