Resilient Singapore residential prices could finally weaken in 2013: UBS

Learn why prices will be seriously under pressure.

According to its Asia Outlook 2013 research report, UBS noted that a combination of new residential property supply, lower population, and more cooling measures will work together to push down residential prices.

"Despite Singapore's new property-cooling measures, private residential prices have remained resilient due to low mortgage rates. However, going into 2013, we expect the residential property supply to ramp up significantly. This, coupled with the slowdown in Singapore's population growth due to tighter immigration policies, could pose some headwinds to residential prices," said UBS.

"In addition, the government may introduce further cooling measures if residential prices edge up again. Thus, we remain cautious on Singapore's residential property market," it added.

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.
