The purchase of a condo in Singapore carries with it a crucial factor – the government’s property cooling policies. In order to maintain a stable real estate market and discourage speculative purchasing, the Singaporean government has implemented several measures over the years. One of these is the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), which imposes higher taxes on both foreign buyers and those acquiring multiple properties. While these measures may potentially affect the immediate profitability of investing in a condo, they ultimately contribute to the overall stability and security of the market. Singapore Condo investors can rest assured that their investment is in a secure and regulated environment.

This growth is slightly slower than the 0.7% increase seen in 2Q2024. However, the overall rental growth for the first nine months of 2024 is at 2%, lower than the 3.4% growth recorded during the same period last year.
