New launches
New launches, with the numbers worked out.
A developer’s site shows you the showflat. We add what it leaves out: what each unit takes to afford, how the price compares with resale homes nearby, and who the project does and doesn’t suit.

How we look at a new launch
Three things a showflat won’t tell you.
What it takes to afford
For every unit type: the money needed upfront, the monthly repayment, and the household income the bank’s rules imply — worked from verified rules, not a sales chart.
How it compares
New-launch prices set beside transacted prices of resale homes nearby, so you can judge whether the premium for a new home is one you want to pay.
Who it suits, and who it doesn’t
An honest read on each project. Sometimes the better buy is a resale home down the road, and we will say so.
