To assume a 50% drop is like telling people to save at least 50% cash of the property price before buying.
My wife and I are in our 30s. We are in fact trying to save up 50% before buying our first condo (now staying in HDB). You seem to suggest that 50% is excessive. In your opinion, what's the usual % that other couples save?
