More than half of home owners today bought their units in resale market

Permanet Residents are thrice as many as one would expect for a suburban private property.

Here's from Square Foot Research:

The resale market, beyond the 5‐year MOP, consists of 66% Singaporeans, 29% Permanent Residences
(PRs) and 5% foreigners.

More than half of the current owners bought their units in the resale market.

The number of PRs is almost three times as many as one would expect for a suburban private property.

This is in part due to the resale restriction from the fifth to tenth year after completion, where only Singaporeans and Singapore PRs are eligible to purchase.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
