2. Look at how many apartments are still empty at The Sail, Icon and other recently TOP condos. The rental market & yield is sluggish except for cheaper HDBs, which would explain the skyrocketing demand for resale HDB flats...

On your second pt, why is it that condo prices are still at historical highs now? Or is there a lag before reality sets in? Or that prices have decoupled from rental yield?
