- Separate CCR, RCR and OCR data using period definitions.
- Distinguish transaction volume from price movement.
- Check later URA data before describing a durable shift.
- Verify current ABSD and foreign-buyer rules independently.
- Do not treat property as a guaranteed inflation hedge.
Use current URA transactions and IRAS rules for a decision today.
