#97: Wealth Preservation Best Practices for 50-year-olds & 2025 Market Projections

As people enter their 50s, many start to shift their focus from rapid growth to preserving the wealth they’ve built over the years, particularly in real estate. Yu Rong and George Peng discuss how property investment strategies should evolve during this consolidation phase, ensuring financial stability while still seizing opportunities for growth.

 

They dive into the current state of the Singapore property market, examining the slight uptick in property prices and how this might align with anticipated interest rate reductions next year. With 2025 on the horizon, they provide a thoughtful analysis of how these shifts could impact property prices and market sentiment moving forward. You’ll also hear a real-life strategy for single-income families looking to expand from one property to two, along with a deeper understanding of how interest costs can impact your decisions.

 

Tune in for a comprehensive understanding of how to make strategic decisions in real estate when making big moves into the next chapter of life!
