Singapore property rental market

[Wd40]

I was just searching . and it is very strange, there are almost zero availability of HDBs in many areas. There are lots of condos available though, but not HDBs. Any reason for this?

HDB rental units are always snapped up first.

Nope. This was not the case earlier. There is a sudden huge divergence between number of HDBs available and number of condos available. Anyways, I found out the reason. Apparently, after Malaysia closed down its borders, there is a huge demand from people who used to commute up and down the borders. Those people are now clubbing 5 people in one 3 bedder HDBs and paying 2500 rent. So suddenly HDB demand and rents have shot up.

Right now in Jurong west area hardly any HDBs available for rent. Its amazing, never saw such a dynamic play out before. This article explains how Malaysians working here are causing havoc in the HDB rental market.

Our aircon guy, a Malaysia chap, is one of their tenants. He told me he's paying $500 for a room; makes me wonder how many peeps they're cramming in these HDBs...
