Tahmid Nasif & Arshvyn Prakas Season 1 Episode 129

In this episode of The Mind Your Business Show, Zach explores the growing trend among Singaporean university students applying for Built-to-Order (BTO) flats before marriage, and its potential negative impact on marriage stability. The discussion covers why young Singaporeans prefer BTOs over resale flats, despite the financial benefits and subsidies associated with BTOs. Other topics include the risks of early commitment, the higher divorce rates related to housing stress, and how changes in housing regulations and societal pressures influence young couples' decisions. The conversation also touches on the role of AI in real estate, adaptability in sales, and the emotional aspects of purchasing property.
