Read property news and the research library
Updated 4 October 2026
The Short Answer
Ask the chat for property news, such as any news on cooling measures, and you get up to 8 recent headlines, each with a one-line summary, its source, date and link, for 2 credits. PropKaki's own guides are in the research library. Reading the news and research pages on the website is free.
Two kinds of reading here: the day's news from other outlets, and PropKaki's own guides that stay true for longer.
How do I get the latest news in the chat?
Ask in the chat, on the web or on WhatsApp. A topic narrows it: HDB news, interest rate news, any news on cooling measures?, en bloc news. With no topic you get the latest across everything.
Each headline comes with:
- a one-line summary;
- its source and date;
- a link to the full story.
You get 5 headlines unless you ask for more, up to 8, newest first.
What is the research library?
PropKaki's own published guides and articles: stamp duty, financing, HDB and EC rules, buying decisions and market overviews.
Ask the chat a question a guide answers, such as do you have a guide on ABSD?, and PropKaki finds the right one, reads it and answers you from it, in its own words. The link comes at the end, for when you want the full article.
Where can I read them without asking?
Open Workspace → Free Tools in the left rail, then the Research tab:
- Latest Property News opens Singapore Property News: PropKaki's commentary, the latest news, then sections for HDB, Condominiums, Property Market & Finance, Urban Planning & Land Use, Retail & Mixed-Use and Sustainability & Buildings.
- Expert Property Insights opens Singapore Property Research & Guides, with Browse by Topic to find a subject.
No account is needed, and reading them costs nothing. The news page picks up new stories every 10 minutes.
What does it cost?
| What you do | Credits |
|---|---|
| Ask for news | 2 |
| A question PropKaki answers by reading one of its research guides | 5 |
| Read the news or research pages on the website | 0 |
The 5-credit answer is the one PropKaki calls a Research Report. See Get a personalised research report.
Why did a headline not come up?
A topic only matches stories whose headline, summary or topic labels contain those words. Cooling finds more than the latest round of cooling measures.
If nothing matches, PropKaki says No recent news matching your topic. Ask again with no topic for the newest stories across everything.
