Ku Swee YongāsĀ Real Estate Riches,Ā Building Your Real Estate RichesĀ andĀ Real Estate RealitiesĀ have become a valuable resource for property investors in Singapore during the past few years. In his new book, he takes stock of the prolonged downturn and weak market conditions and offers useful defensive strategies in the face of supply gluts and weakening prices.
The lead article warns of potential risks arising from an extremely high rate of home ownership in Singapore, followed by frank insights into various local property segments. The book also includes illuminating coverage on some regional markets which he recommends investors to look into.
Backed by solid research and astute observations,Ā Weathering a Property DownturnĀ is a sobering read that portends a scenario where massive supply overhangs will drive prices markedly down. Addressing current issues faced by property investors through a collection of articles previously published inĀ TODAY,Ā The Business TimesĀ andĀ The Edge, he offers qualified and invaluable observations on public and private properties, mixed developments, luxury estates and overseas properties.

"This book offers a scan of Swee Yong's brilliant analyses andĀ extensive knowledge not only of the Singapore market, but also ofĀ the markets he sees potential in, including the risks of downside andĀ opportunities for upside. His honest review with regards to real estate policy,Ā property demand and supply, as well as comprehensive coverage of markets,Ā near and far, is reading that you do not want to miss before youĀ embark on your next move and decision pertaining to real estate."
ā 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 outĀ noises in the market, he goes straight to the heart of issuesĀ plaguing the property sector. At times, Swee Yong's analysesĀ glean on how some policies can be a double-edged sword andĀ the need for fine and timely calibration. He gives his readers theĀ unadulterated version of his views based on data, even if they areĀ deemed unpopular or up against the general tide. And it takesĀ both courage and foresight to raise the hard questions."
