Singapore is amongst strongest markets for global super-prime homes

In Q1, the Lion City recorded 37 transactions.

The Lion City emerged as one of the strongest markets for global super-prime homes, with transactions growing to 37 in Q123 from 23 in Q422.

Globally, Singapore ranked as the fifth strongest market, behind Los Angeles (46), New York (58), Hong Kong (67), and Dubai (88).

In Singapore, the average super-prime sales were recorded at US$15.6m.

Knight Frank, however, warned that Singapore's latest increase in foreign buyer stamp duty to 60% will likely impact demand for its super-prime homes in future quarters.

Globally, Knight Frank also sees "more subdued conditions" for the super-prime home market, with transactions likely to total $25-$27 billion for the full year.

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.
