Most of what’s written about Singapore property is marketing dressed as analysis. We know because we work in the industry that produces it: most of the reviews you’ll read were written to sell you the project, and the industry has far more agents who can close a transaction than agents who can analyse a market.
That gap matters, because at today’s prices some buyers will do very well and plenty will quietly lose money, sometimes inside the same condo, and the difference is usually what each of them paid going in. It’s why every review on this site runs on the QPE framework, which scores a condo on quality, exit and price, and puts downside risk first. And we decided it’s time to put our insights in the open: client case studies, reviews and commentary you can learn from, so you can navigate this property market with confidence.
Review Homes started with a gap we kept running into ourselves. Before buying anything, especially in the resale market, we wanted the full transaction history, the floor plans measured, the problems written down instead of skipped. We couldn’t find it anywhere. New launches get wall-to-wall coverage because there’s commission behind them. Resale barely gets a paragraph. So we started writing it ourselves.
Most condo reviews in Singapore are written by people selling the condo. They’re paid on commission, and it shows: the review retells the sales kit, every room glowing, with no proper framework and not much experience or insight behind it.
This industry has plenty of schools of thought, and between us we’ve sat through most of them: agency scoring systems, guru checklists, and every framework that ranks a condo by how much you could make on it. The one we use is QPE, created by Clinton Lim of PocketView and endorsed by PropNex. It’s the only framework we’ve come across that starts from what you could lose instead of what you could make. When the market rises, most condos rise with it, and nobody needs help in the good years. A good purchase proves itself in the flat years, which is why QPE sits behind every score on this site.
Review Homes grew out of Hero Homes, the parent group founded by Heikal, and that team has helped thousands of Singaporeans through these exact decisions.
Every review starts with URA transactions: what buyers in the area have actually been paying. Anything we cite, you can check yourself. Then we write down what we found, including the parts that might put you off, and score the project out of ten. Some projects score badly. We publish those too.
If you’d rather make your next move with that kind of thinking behind it, the first session is where to start.
We’re licensed agents with PropNex, so this isn’t independent journalism. This site is how we meet buyers. Reading everything here is free, and nobody pays us for coverage. If a review helps you and you later buy or sell through us, we earn the standard co-broke commission, the same fee any agent collects. You don’t pay anything extra.
We give the analysis away because we’d rather show you how we think before you decide whether to work with us. Some readers become clients. Some don’t, and that’s fine.
Your first session with us happens at our Sixth Avenue office. We start with how the market actually works and teach you to navigate it yourself, before any options get recommended. Sessions run from an hour and a half to four hours, depending on what you own and where you’re headed. After managing property portfolios for over a decade, we’ve learned a proper consultation shouldn’t be cut short by the clock.
So take your time deciding whether to contact us. When you do, come ready to work: the sessions run like a workshop, so bring a pen and notebook, and expect a way of looking at property you haven’t come across before.
