Are 1–2 bedroom condos still worth holding in today’s market?

A wave of new launches. Changing buyer behaviour. Rising costs eating into returns.

With some owners barely breaking even and some even making 6 figure losses - is there room for your unit to perform… or it is becoming a liability quietly?

In this episode of itsteamcharlie, we deep-dive into the reality of 1–2 bedroom condos — from supply trends and layout strategies to real profit/loss case studies — and unpack whether holding on still makes sense in 2026.

🧠 WHAT WE BREAK DOWN
👉 The 1BR supply shift — why developers are pulling back in some areas and doubling down in others
👉 Profit vs loss case studies — why some “central” projects underperform while others outperform
👉 Layout matters — how “dumbbell” units can drive stronger rental yields
👉 The real math — BSD (4–6%), interest rates, maintenance, and your true break-even PSF
👉 Changing buyer profiles — how DINKs and WFH trends are reshaping demand
👉 Entry price sweet spot — why $1.5M to $2M units are key for future exits
👉 Rental vs capital gains — what’s actually driving returns for small units today
👉 Who should hold vs sell — identifying if your unit is still worth keeping
