Why Buy Investment Property in Singapore

Buying investment property in Singapore is a definitely a great opportunity to earn money in a short time. Here’s why:

Development

Since gaining independence in 1965, Singapore has witnessed a dramatic rise in its standard of living. And fortunately, the Singaporean government has been proactive in bringing on an island-wide industrialization and the modern economy of this island-country is firmly balanced on manufacturing and electronics. Singapore has gained immensely from the direct foreign investments and the status of an entrepot and commercial hub for Southeast Asia which is why investing in property in Singapore is an exciting opportunity, and it’s all thanks to the island’s strategic location in the continent.

Economy


Singapore is a great example for all countries as it overcame its lack of natural resources to become not just the 18th wealthiest country in the world, but to also become one of the juggernaut economies of the Asian subcontinent. With foreign reserve of $139bn, today’s Singapore is a far cry from the old fishing village it used to be.

Singapore is also one of the Four Asian Tigers along with Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. The country has also been rated as the most commercially viable economy world-wide and attracts thousands of foreign expatriates who find work in multi-national corporations, increasing the demand for real estate and experts tout this to be the right time to for investing in property in Singapore. While the Singaporean economy grew by 6.4% in 2005, it’s created a record of sorts when it grew by 7.9% in 2006!

Standard of Living


Singaporeans love to earn money and live lavishly, a fact that is reflected in the Cost of Living Survey conducted this year by Mercer HR Consulting, which ranked the country as the 5th most expensive in Asia and 14th most expensive country to live in across the world! Investing in property in Singapore is bound to reap rich rewards for you as the standard of living is high and the infrastructure is excellent, coupled with a cosmopolitan and secular approach has made Singapore a favorable destination for expats, and foreigners who enjoy the excellent quality of life, myriad tastes of Asian cultures, and a traditionally modern outlook of this beautiful island state. An enchanting blend of different cultures, traditions and religions, Singapore has a knack to charm you and embrace you in its open arms.

Climate/Environment


Singapore has a tropical rainforest type of climate with no specific seasons. The temperatures range from 22°C to 34 °C with relative humidity of around 90% in the morning and 60% in the afternoon. The hottest months are June and July, while November and December are wet months and August to October are severe due to dust storms.

Forests and nature reserves make up for 23% of the land and the major rainforest is Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Real Estate in Singapore
The real estate market in Singapore is dynamic with average residential price being around US$ 540,000. For all of you who are planning to purchase, or invest in the Singaporean property market, there are a wide range of housing options. All modern constructions come with a plethora of excellent facilities that aid in maintaining a high standard of living in beautiful and clean environs and many offer panoramic views of the sea!

These reasons should be sufficient for you to realize that investing in property in Singapore now means only one thing – profit!

Singapore Property Real Estate Boom

Posted on by Mindy Yong.
Categories: Others Articles / Guides.

Singapore’s Property Boom

If figures are anything to go by then property investments in Singapore have set a new record of sorts and just within the first half of 2007.

According to CB Richard Ellis, Singaporean investors have spent as much as $21.4 Billion on real estate investments within the first half of 2007 alone! It is expected that the momentum will continue and break the record of $30.51bn that was set in 2006.

Sales figures for real estate prices at $5 million or more have already touched 48%, which is much higher than the value that was attained for the same period in 2006.

The executive director of investment properties, CB Richard Ellis says that “At this halfway point, there is every reason to expect that investment sales for the whole of 2007 will surpass last year’s figures, and may hit $35 billion.”

The first quarter sales for land sales, en bloc sales and other properties in Singapore climbed heights of $11.7Bn and the second quarter has already recorded over $9.67Bn till date which is 16% more than during the same period last year. With 86% sales or almost $18.5Bn being chalked up by the private sector alone, the public sector land sales are estimated at around $2.9Bn alone.

Couple of the biggest property transactions of the year include the Government sale of Tampines Grande for $225 million to City Developments and the purchase of the hotel site by the Carlton Group at the Gopeng Street/Tanjong Pagar Road for a staggering $123 million. These transactions are especially significant as they signify the enormity of Singapore’s property boom.

Transactions of just over $14.6 billion or 68% have been made in the first half of 2007 in the residential sector alone and this includes deals involving first class bungalows as well.

Much of the Singapore’s property boom can be attributed to the fact that developers are in a rush to grab well-located plots to build up the land banks and are not shying away from spending mega bucks to meet this target. So as the first half of this year was witness to sales of 67 plots totalling a huge $7.92Bn alone!

If experts are to be believed then the real estate investment market in Singapore is set to better its performance in the second half and public sector sales will be a major contributor. While the ascent of the Singapore property market is great news for everyone – buyers, sellers, investors – those who have lived and survived the bust of the property market in the 1990s are especially wary.

Poised on the plans to make Singapore a tourist capital, and the fact that over a billion dollars have been invested in various resorts projects across the island, together with ongoing endeavour to become a hub for private wealth management, Singapore’s property boom is a great chance for investors to make some good money within a small time horizon. And perhaps the most important question on everyone’s mind is: for how long can this property boom last?  For the time being, the signs are encouraging!

Property Market in Singapore

There cannot be clearer signs that the property market in Singapore is becoming more appealing and attractive to foreigners as well as domestic investors. Providing further impetus to the booming property market in Singapore is the economy. Poised at a healthy position currently, the first half of 2007 has seen a record breaking performance with rise in GDP exceeding over 7.5%. Far better than what was expected and this is just between January and March 2007!

The government of Singapore is promoting the property market in Singapore as an investment market on a international level that is a good indicator that the economy of this island country is bound to do exceptionally well over the next one – two years at least. The appeal for not just investment, purchase, and selling in the property market in Singapore is on a rise including renewed interested in off plan properties. Here’s why:

1. The latest statistics concerning GDP and economic growth in Singapore from Jan-March 2007 suggests that the property market in Singapore (construction industry) can play the role of a great benefactor to the economy despite the slow down of the American economy.

2. People across the world are now looking at Singapore as an excellent investment market and the appeal is at an all time high currently making property market in Singapore a safe option for investors.

3. Due to the attractive offers for foreign companies to set shops in Singapore, there has been a rise in demand for residential units. Off plan property in Singapore provides investors with an excellent entry point into the property market in Singapore.

4. The government and the city planners are working to ensure that Singapore is physically a more attractive and charming place to live, work, do business and enjoy a vacation. This move is also expected to have a significantly positive effect on the property market in Singapore and on the property prices.

5. Plenty of new and exciting things have been planned to provide a face-lift to Singapore. Two new mega gaming resorts are to be built at the cost of destroying ugly old high rises. The new resorts will be state-of-the-art, visually stunning architectural masterpieces with an International appeal and sensibility.

6. Plans are taking shape to make Singapore a city within a garden by maximizing the existing natural water resources of the island and enhance the overall appeal and charm of the country. Property market in Singapore is going to get a fillip with such exciting urbanization plans, some of which have already been set into motion.

7. At the recently held Cityscape Asia real estate exhibition the Singaporean Prime Minister’s representative Mah Bow Tan stated categorically that his government is committed on an ongoing basis to ‘further its efforts to make Singapore more vibrant and exciting to attract even more overseas real estate investors’ and so far all efforts are paying off.

8. The residential off plan real estate is selling out quickly and the property market in Singapore is hot with investments from international buyers. Additionally, direct foreign investment in Singaporean real estate market reached a staggering 5.4 billion Singapore dollars in 2006. And in the first quarter of 2007, the residential property prices have appreciated by an incredible 4.6% in the first quarter alone – the steepest quarterly increase witnessed in over seven years!

Living in Singapore

Singapore is a tropical island of around 646 square kilometers in size, located at the southern tips of the Malay Peninsula and shares its southern border with Malaysia, and northern with Indonesia. Singapore is also the smallest city-state country in the Southeast Asian region. Living in Singapore allows you to easy access to Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries such as India and Thailand.

Today’s Singapore is a far cry from the old fishing village that was full of opium dens and pearl luggers, now the island is dominated by concrete, glass and steel cityscape while hi-tech wizardry is commonplace and living in Singapore is a fun ride.

However, the contradictions are immense from steamy rickshaw to spotless streets and ethnic settlements that often remind of the colonial era that Singapore has been a part of.
A distinctly Asian city, Singapore has 71% population as Chinese followed by Malay and Indian. So you have a concoction of traditions and cultures that create an exciting and colorful contract to the big city life. The fact that Singapore is undoubtedly cosmopolitan makes it’s a highly attractive option for expatriates to come settle here. Added to this, the availability of luxurious residential real estate at reasonable prices adds to the allure. The real estate market in Singapore is an all-time high with dramatic GDP growth aided by record breaking investments by foreign investors.

Living in Singapore is completely safe and there is a lot to do here. From shopping to religious activities, to water sports, to theatre and other cultural activities, Singapore even has a throbbing party scene. You will be able to enjoy cuisines from different countries with various eateries lined along the sea front.

With many different varieties of cuisines to offer, living in Singapore means being able to enjoy Chinese, Indian, Malay, Indonesian and Western, Italian, Peranakan, Spanish, French, Thai and even Fusion, each of which is readily available everywhere on the island.

While Indian food is known for its relatively spicier flavor, Chinese food, especially the seafood dishes are an equal rage. Malay cooking makes extensive use of coconut milk making the food very tasty.

The island is a cosmopolitan society and living in Singapore is a peaceful and harmonious experience. You will also get to interact with different races on a common place basis and find mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences, all of which have been woven into the cultural fabric of the country.

But cultural diversity aside, Singapore is a fledging hub of many commercial activities and at the top of these are the manufacturing, trading and tourism industries. Singapore is the world’s 4th largest Foreign Exchange Trading center after London, New York, and Tokyo. It’s expected that Singapore may overtake Tokyo to stake claim at the 3rd position by 2008 if the economy does as expected.

With a tropical climate with no distinctive seasons throughout the year, living in Singapore allows you to enjoy sunshine, and spend time going for family get-togethers and outings.
Truly a great place, living in Singapore means ensuring a great future for your family providing them with the best of everything. Try Singapore today!

Buying Property in Singapore

In the early part of the 21st century, property market in Singapore suffered a significant slowdown and correction after a period of economic instability.

However, now the Singaporean economy is on a rebound and things are changing for the better. The property market in Singapore is recovering at a dramatic pace and the residential real estate is setting new records of investments. In 2006, the off plan property saw a complete sell-out and the first quarter of this year has been no different. The GDP growth from Jan-March 2007 has already touched a record breaking 7.2% already!

Here are some reasons why buying property in Singapore is such a fantastic opportunity for those who want to benefit from the booming property market in Singapore –

1. Singapore is the 18th wealthiest country in the world. It has foreign reserve of over $139Bn.

2. Singapore’s economy is on an ascent and the economic revival can be credited to the government’s initiative to sell Singapore as a commercial hub with excellent infrastructure.

3. Singapore is one of the Four Asian Tigers along with Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan with a strong presence in Asia.

4. The Singaporean economy grew by 6.4% in 2005, and zoomed to set a new record when it grew by 7.9% in 2006!

5. The property market in Singapore is witnessing a boom. The boom is expected to last for the next 3-5 years and this is an excellent time for investors to invest in retail and commercial property as there is a strong potential suggesting gains of around 20%-25% in over 2 years.

6. A cosmopolitan and secular approach has made Singapore a favorable destination for expatriates. Many foreign nationals are shifting base to Singapore and rentals rates have also seen a hike since the past couple of years.

7. Singaporean government is launching a series of incentives to reignite the retail, commercial and residential property markets in Singapore. A direct outcome of these initiatives is that Singapore is likely to prove a positive prospect for the medium to long term for investors and buyers alike.

8. Singapore offers a tropical rainforest type of climate with no specific seasons. The temperatures range from 22°C to 34 °C with relative humidity of around 90% in the morning and 60% in the afternoon.

9. A highly favorable and popular tourist destination, Singapore has seen an increase of tourists in the recent past.

10. The tourism industry provides employment to many and the demand for quality accommodation for rent or sale has increased and is not likely to abate anytime soon.

11. Land deals at record rates have also added to the confidence levels of the local developers and the buzz in the property market in Singapore is that the demand will only grow from here.

12. A number of new and exciting developments on the Sentosa Island are already proving to be tremendously popular for foreign property investors who are buying off plan property and then finding a strong demand for resale of these properties or a market for rental properties upon completion.

To summarize, Singapore is in an excellent position currently and the government is committed on an ongoing basis to managing and bettering this island country’s fortunes. Investors should draw confidence in the property market in Singapore from these facts.

Success = Love + Time + Knowledge + Money + Health +

Opportunity

  Being successful is something most people strive for.  However, what exactly is success?  For most people, success is accomplishing a sense of happiness in their everyday lives.  Breaking down what that means, however, can be a bit trickier.  Almost everyone agrees that love is an essential component to success.  Health is also necessary.  Knowledge in life and in one’s career choice is helpful in garnering success and with that often follows monetary gain.  It does take time, though to accomplish all this.  Everyone has the opportunity to achieve a successful life but not everyone recognizes when opportunities arise.  Think of success like an equation:  Love plus time plus knowledge plus money plus health plus opportunity equals success.  Everyone wants someone to love and someone to love them.  With divorce rates today at over fifty percent, this may seem like a difficult prospect.  However, it is important to know what qualities one wants in a partner and to take the time to find exactly that.  This may take some time but it will be rewarding when it occurs.  It is important to take as many opportunities as possible to find the one who will be perfect.  Being able to share the success with that special someone will be incredibly fulfilling. Knowledge is also an important factor in the key to success.  With knowledge comes the ability to recognize possible opportunities to achieve the other parts of the equation also.  Knowledge will allow one to accomplish career and personal goals by expanding the skill set and enabling one to advance more quickly.  It will also allow management of personal life more effectively so that when each of the pieces of the equation falls into place, they can maintained. With additional knowledge and advancement of one’s career follows money.  Money is important to lead a quality of life that is comfortable for most people.  Everyone has bills and the necessities in life that need to be paid.  But money allows for much more than the necessities.  It allows people to have some fun, purchase the luxury items one may want, indulge in hobbies and take vacations. Time allows people to gain more experiences and allows more opportunities for success to come their way.  As time passes, there will be more opportunities and additional knowledge gained that will help to achieve success.  It does not happen overnight but with patience and perseverance, it will occur.  If there is time spent, knowledge gained and opportunities presented, a person is sure to find love and money.  But once these pieces of the equation have come to fruition, a person must enjoy it.  A person in good health will be able to live longer to take pleasure in the success that is achieved.  A person who is healthy will also be able to work harder to reach their goals of finding success.Everyone wants to be successful.  Those who have it will attest to the fact that it takes time and the ability to recognize opportunities to establish all the components.  If one takes the time, has the opportunities and establishes knowledge, money, health and someone to love, all the factors will be there that are necessary in the equation for success.
