Is Your Property Still Growing — or Has It Reached Its Peak?
For most Singaporeans, property is not just a place to live — it’s also one of the biggest financial assets you’ll ever own. But here’s the question: is your property still growing in value, or has it already peaked?
That’s where a Property Health Check (PHC) comes in. Think of it like a health check-up for your home. It helps you uncover whether there’s still potential upside, plan your financing wisely, and align your property decisions with your long-term wealth and retirement goals.
1. What is a Property Health Check?
A Property Health Check is a personalised financial review of your real estate portfolio. It helps you to:
Assess the current value and equity of your property.
Identify whether there’s anymore potential upside or if your property has already reached its peak.
Evaluate financing options (loan tenure, cashflow, CPF usage).
Plan exit strategies and future upgrades.
Ensure your property decisions fit into your wealth and retirement plan.
2. Why You Need a Property Health Check
✔️ Market shifts constantly – With interest rates, GLS supply, and government cooling measures, yesterday’s good buy may not be the best option today.
✔️ Property cycles matter – Timing your upgrade or reinvestment can make the difference between average gains and life-changing results.
✔️ Avoid costly ABSD mistakes – Many families delay upgrading due to fear of ABSD, without realising there are legal strategies to work around it.
✔️ Retirement security – Your property may be the key to unlocking funds for your golden years.
3. What’s Covered in a Property Health Check?
a) Property Valuation & Potential Upside
Compare current market value vs nearby transactions.
Understand your paper gains (unrealised profits).
Check whether there’s further upside potential in your property, or if it may have reached its peak.
b) Loan & Financing Analysis
Review your outstanding loan balance and tenure.
Explore refinancing for better rates.
Calculate affordability for a 2nd property or an upgrade.
Assess monthly cashflow impact on your long-term plans.
c) CPF & Cashflow Planning
How much CPF is tied up in your property?
What’s your CPF accrued interest liability?
Are you over-relying on CPF for housing, affecting retirement savings?
d) Exit Strategy Planning
Who will be your future buyer (HDB upgrader, investor, or foreigner)?
Is your property in a growth area or stagnating one?
When is the ideal holding period to sell, upgrade, or reinvest?
e) Future Opportunities
Should you upgrade from HDB to condo, or condo to landed?
Is dual-property strategy (rental + capital gains) possible for you?
Does overseas property investment fit your profile?
4. Who Should Do a Property Health Check?
HDB owners reaching MOP – Decide whether to hold, sell, or upgrade.
EC/Condo owners – Plan the best exit timing to maximise gains.
Young couples – Avoid overpaying and ensure safe entry when buying first property.
Investors – Ensure your portfolio isn’t over-concentrated.
Families nearing retirement – Unlock equity without downgrading lifestyle.

7. Real-Life Example (Case Study)
Mr & Mrs Lee purchased a 2-bedroom condo in Pasir Ris for $950K in 2016. By 2024, their unit appreciated to $1.25M.
Without a PHC → They would likely have stayed in their existing unit. While it had grown in value, the upside potential was slowing down. Smaller units like theirs usually appeal to a narrower buyer pool, which could affect capital growth in the long term.
With a PHC → Through a detailed Property Health Check, they discovered they could:
Sell their 2-bedroom condo and unlock around $300K in gains.
Upgrade into a spacious 3-bedroom condo at $1.9M — a property class with stronger long-term demand.
Restructure their finances and set aside 3 years’ worth of reserve funds to cover monthly instalments.
✅ Result:
They upgraded to a larger home that suits their family needs.
Their new property has stronger future appreciation potential, boosting their net worth.
With 3 years of reserve funds set aside, they enjoy peace of mind knowing they can comfortably manage their mortgage even if income fluctuates.
Long term, this positions them to right-size during retirement with significantly more financial security.
Conclusion
A Property Health Check is not about rushing into buying or selling — it’s about clarity. By reviewing your home’s current value, financing, and whether there’s still room for upside, you can make smarter moves that protect your wealth and open new opportunities.
Instead of letting your home become a “dead asset,” a Property Health Check helps you decide whether to hold, upgrade, or restructure — ensuring your property continues working hard for your future.
