The Chinese are top foreign buyers of residential properties in Singapore

Mainland Chinese buyers account for 26% of purchases by non-Singaporeans in Q2 2011.

DTZ says most of the transactions by foreigners were for non-landed homes.

Here’s more from DTZ:

The proportion of purchases made by foreigners in Q2 2011 was similar to the 16% recorded in Q1 2011. In absolute terms, foreign purchases were 1,327 in Q2 2011, below the record high of 1,741 foreign purchases in Q2 2007. With the exception of one landed home in Sentosa Cove, the rest of the transactions by foreigners were for non-landed homes.

Among non-Singaporean buyers which comprise foreigners and Permanent Residents, mainland Chinese buyers were the top non-Singaporean purchasers of residential properties in Singapore for the second consecutive quarter. They made up 26% of purchases by non-Singaporeans in Q2 2011, buying 640 units, which is a new high and more than the 527 units purchased in Q1 2011.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
