Resale condo listings are sitting on the market almost twice as long as they were three years ago. In the first episode of The Resale Room, Harvey Chia is joined by three new co-hosts to unpack why — and what sellers and buyers can actually do about it.

The panel breaks down the 15-month rule and its effect on private downgraders, why the whole 2026 market feels slower across HDB, condo and landed, and the hardest conversation an agent has to have with a seller: your unit isn't moving because it's priced wrong.

Also covered: whether PropertyGuru alone is still enough, AI walkthrough videos versus physical staging, seasonality and the June lull, and why a listing that sits too long makes every competing unit look like a bargain.

Featuring Harvey Chia, Viv, Teng and Quentino Cassano Lee.
