See how the trends in Singapore's leasing market has changed

Mid-tier properties in the RCR are in demand.

According to Knight Frank, average private residential rentals in 3Q 2012 have risen across the board, whereby rents for OCR non-landed homes increased the most by 1.6 per cent, followed by  terrace homes island wide (up 1.1 per cent) and RCR non-landed (up 1 per cent).

With more housing  options island-wide for tenants and the constrained housing budgets for expatriates, OCR non-landed homes are starting to gain more interest from budget-conscious tenants.

Similarly, leasing demand for RCR properties have also increased, with some tenants moving to mid-tier properties in the RCR, which offers comparable commuting convenience to the city centre at more affordable rents.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
