In this second part of the four seasons framework discussion, Jesley, Jun Wei, and Melvin Lim dive into the Spring season of property investment—a time when life starts to bloom with new opportunities. Today, we’re focusing on the personas of a typical Singaporean couple at age 33, who are making the big leap from a BTO flat to a condo. Jun Wei’s got some real-world experience here that makes this topic super relatable.
We’re also taking a closer look at the nuts and bolts of property investments. Jesley and Melvin break down the financial benefits of splitting your investments, and they even bring out PLB’s proprietary ROI calculator to show how you can maximise returns from rental income, manage expenses, and grow your capital gains. They use a real couple’s journey to show exactly how this plays out—because seeing the numbers in action makes all the difference.
To wrap it up, the team compares different investment strategies, digging into case studies that highlight the differences in rental yield and capital appreciation when you invest in one big condo versus two smaller ones. This is essential stuff for anyone thinking about upgrading their home, balancing the need for more space with the potential for better financial outcomes.

Welcome back to NOTG whiteboard sessions with Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers! In this episode, Melvin discusses why new launch buyers prefer fresh projects, introducing the 4 seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) concept in relation to land acquisition and the 5-year property cycle. He explains how these cycles impact pricing and investment decisions, providing valuable insights for timing your property investments.
The session highlights the median PSF of non-landed private new sales by region, showing significant price increases and the effects of past en bloc projects. Melvin covers our government’s controlled release of land to manage property prices and discusses the ownership distribution of private properties, emphasising the niche market for condos and apartments.

The NOTG team continues their discussion with infrastructure development and its influence on property investment decisions. This week, they focus on regional developments, beginning with the impact of the cancelled high-speed rail project between Malaysia and Singapore and the premature hype it generated. They also explore the potential of Woodlands, highlighting the notable appreciation in property prices there over the past few years.
In an interesting segment, Melvin raises a few scenarios to the rest about investing in properties in neighbouring countries, given the appeal of foreign properties with lower entry barriers, their lower value, and the advantage of Singapore’s stronger currency. Tune in to hear what Joan, Grayce, and George have to say on this very interesting episode of Nuggets On The Go!

This week, the NOTG team discusses the URA Master Plan and how it can guide property investment decisions. They highlight the importance of understanding different plot zones and the development potential, as well as plot ratios determining the density of developments that might impact properties with previously unblocked views, which, in turn, could affect desirability and eventually their value.
Regarding the URA Master Plan, the talk of the town for the longest time has been the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront. Is it considered overhyped? Is it still too far down the road for sellers to factor it into their property’s selling quantum? What will the future hold for that area? What about other upcoming projects like the Long Island project?
Tune in as Melvin Lim, George, Grayce, and Joan from PropertyLimBrothers delve deep into the URA Master Plan, Land Plots, Government Land Sales, EC plots, and the foreseeable future development in Singapore Real Estate! Hear what they think about these factors and their impacts!
