Foreign purchases of private homes soar by 102.8% in Q2

Most non-local buyers were from Mainland, China.

The number of non-landed homes purchased by foreigners soared by 102.8% to 292 units in Q2, data from the URA Realis showed.

Property expert, OrangeTee, said the increasing number of purchases from non-locals is an indication that many foreigners are “still keen to park their money in Singapore despite the cooling measures.”

“Given the geopolitical and economic uncertainties in other Asian countries, Singapore has emerged as their top investment destination,” OrangeTee added.

In Q2, most of the foreigner buyers, both non-permanent residents and permanent residents, were from Mainland China (342 units ), followed by Malaysia (218 units) and India (123 units) (Chart 5).

Overall, sales volume for the quarter rose by 27.5% to 6,811 in Q2. The price index for private residential homes also rose by 3.5% during the quarter.

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.
