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

Some agents are using 'bait-style' listings to attract buyers with prices that seem too good to be true, and often, they really are. 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?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Joyce Lim, Senior Correspondent at The Straits Times, to find out more.
