SG real estate posts annual growth rate of 4.2%

It was driven by the influx of expatriates to the city-state.

Singapore’s real estate market continues to be resilient, growing at a yearly rate of 4.2% due to the arrival of expatriates, Knight Frank’s recent study showed.

Specifically, the financial and professional services sector helped in boosting the rental market more than the sales market.

This can be attributed to the implemented tax measures that now implement taxes equivalent to 60% of buying prices on foreigners.

For other APAC cities, Tokyo and Manila’s global luxury house prices eased, with a growth of 26.2% and 19.9%, respectively.

Prices in Dubai soared by 225% since reaching a 2020 low in the third quarter of 2020.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
