Why isn't everyone buying properties in the next 3 months

Weak demand persists but Singapore market may find relief from foreign buyers.

While some people see buying residential property as an investment, many people only buy that for residential purpose. However, in general, do people afford buying residential property in Asia nowadays?

YouGov has recently conducted a survey to investigate people’s views on buying residential property across Asia Pacific. A total of 11,687 people responded to the survey, of which 1,749 were Australians, 1,668 Chinese, 1,139 Hong Kongers, 1,826 Indonesians, 1,792 Malaysians, 1,792 Singaporeans and 1,721 people from Thailand. All data are weighted to be national representative of online population.

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.
