Singapore amongst top five APAC largest real estate investment market

Transactions reached $23.93b over the 12 months to March 2026.

Singapore recorded $23.93b (US$18.7b) in real estate transactions in the 12 months to March 2026, placing it amongst the top five investment markets in Asia Pacific, according to Colliers' Global Capital Flows May 2026 report.

It placed fifth in the region, behind Japan, Australia, China, and South Korea, as total real estate investment across Asia Pacific climbed 15% year-on-year to $261.05b (US$204b).

Theo Novak, Colliers' Managing Director of Capital Markets & Investment Services, Asia Pacific, said that what they are seeing in Asia Pacific is a more resilient and investable region, where capital is being drawn to markets with strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential.

"From Japan's scale to Singapore's macro strength and Australia's income-driven opportunities, investors are finding compelling reasons to re-engage,” Novak said.

Colliers noted that investors are increasingly targeting the region's most liquid and transparent markets despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility.

Colliers also said that capital is returning to Asia Pacific with greater discipline in 2026, as investors are focusing on markets that offer scale, liquidity and transparency, which is why Japan, Australia and Singapore continue to attract global capital.

In a separate report, Singapore is one of the top three sources of offshore capital into New Zealand, contributing 23% of total cross‐border investment and placing it alongside Australia and Canada as the country’s leading offshore capital sources, according to Cushman & Wakefield analysis.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
