The actual property we buy should not depend solely on macro trend
I am serious yeah. Every investment we do should be based on our own assessment and not just following ay numbers blindly. Just because everyone is buying does not mean we should also jump in. Just because everyone is staying out does not mean there’s no good property to buy. If the number of property transactions are rising and you are offered an overpriced property, would you buy?
If the number of property transactions are on a downtrend but there’s a unit right next to your parent’s place up for sale, do you buy? However, it is generally safer to buy when the market momentum is positive. For 2025, it seems that most reports thus far does point to a positive year ahead.
