Weathering A Property Downturn

"This book offers a scan of Swee Yong's brilliant analyses and extensive knowledge not only of the Singapore market, but also of the markets he sees potential in, including the risks of downside and opportunities for upside. His honest review with regards to real estate policy, property demand and supply, as well as comprehensive coverage of markets, near and far, is reading that you do not want to miss before you embark on your next move and decision pertaining to real estate."
— John Tan Teck Shoon, Senior Lecturer, School of Design and Environment in Ngee Ann Polytechnic

"Swee Yong is no crowd-pleaser. With a knack for sifting out noises in the market, he goes straight to the heart of issues plaguing the property sector. At times, Swee Yong's analyses glean on how some policies can be a double-edged sword and the need for fine and timely calibration. He gives his readers the unadulterated version of his views based on data, even if they are deemed unpopular or up against the general tide. And it takes both courage and foresight to raise the hard questions."
— Lynette Khoo, Correspondent
