The Big Story: Too good to be true? 'Bait-style' trick property agents in Singapore use to hook buyers

Singapore’s property market has always been competitive, but a recent investigation by The Straits Times has uncovered a worrying trend.

From eye-catching show-flat photos to promises of 'direct-from-developer' deals, these listings can mislead buyers and distort the market. So how common are these 'too good to be true' listings? What happens when a property advertised as a bargain turns out to be misleading? And are there warning signs buyers should watch out for?
