See how the trends in Singapore's leasing market has changed

Mid-tier properties in the RCR are in demand.

According to Knight Frank, average private residential rentals in 3Q 2012 have risen across the board, whereby rents for OCR non-landed homes increased the most by 1.6 per cent, followed by  terrace homes island wide (up 1.1 per cent) and RCR non-landed (up 1 per cent).

With more housing  options island-wide for tenants and the constrained housing budgets for expatriates, OCR non-landed homes are starting to gain more interest from budget-conscious tenants.

Similarly, leasing demand for RCR properties have also increased, with some tenants moving to mid-tier properties in the RCR, which offers comparable commuting convenience to the city centre at more affordable rents.

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.
