Private residential prices may be at 2% - 5% YoY

A report from property firm showed that the latest round of cooling measures, which took effect from April 27, found an increase of the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates for most homes buyers. 

“Notably, the ABSD for purchase of any residential property by foreigners have doubled to 60%,” said Cushman & Wakefield.

The high-end market or the Core Central Region (CCR), which attracts higher foreign demand, would grapple with the impact.

New launch prices also remain stabilised due to rising construction costs and still-low levels of unsold inventory.

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.
