Market emotion, measured weekly
The kiasu index.0 is fear. 100 is FOMO.
One number for how emotional the Singapore property market is right now — from transaction velocity, launch take-up, and what buyers are actually saying. Emotion is when other people overpay. Ideally not you.

Send me the needle every Monday
Benjamin Tan · CTB Realty
CEA-registered. I publish the needle even when it argues against my own business — a cold reading tells buyers to slow down, and it stays published anyway. That's the deal.
What Monday's message looks like
For you: nothing here justifies paying above valuation this week. Sellers will act like it does. That's the whole read. 8:00 am ✓✓
Fair questions
How is the number computed?
A weekly composite: resale transaction velocity vs the 12-month average, new-launch weekend take-up, portal search interest, a forum sentiment sample, and cash-over-valuation share. Methodology v1 — opinionated by design, published consistently so the trend means something.
Is this investment advice?
No. It measures emotion, not value. The useful move is usually the opposite of what the needle tempts you to do — which is exactly why it's worth watching weekly.
