Background

Many Singaporeans liken owning a second property for passive rental income to owning a goose that lays golden eggs. Yet, research reported that buying a second property yielded the lowest investment growth over the past decade. The Singapore housing market is heavily regulated with frequent interventions to manage prices. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted both supply and demand in the housing market: 2 years into the pandemic, construction projects are still facing delays because of tight immigration controls and work-from-home arrangements also pushed more to turn to the rental market.

In the face of such volatile Property and Rental market, we developed a Shiny App to provide truthful visual insights on the sales and rental private housing market to help potential property investors make data-driven decisions when looking for their golden goose.
