Singapore real estate market — prices, rental yield and trend
- Average price: $22,446 / m²
- Gross rental yield: 2.79%
- Price basis: prime district
Residential property in Singapore averages $22,446 per square metre. No market in the set of 59 is more expensive.
What a buyer pays in Singapore
The $22,446 figure is an average for a prime district only: it describes the capital's market, not the country as a whole — most of the country trades well below it. The transfer tax or stamp duty on a purchase here is 60%; notary, registration and agency fees come on top of that.
What it earns
A square metre lets for about $52.2 a month. Against a purchase price of $22,446 per square metre that is 2.8% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 54th of 55 markets by gross yield.
Who can buy in Singapore
Freehold for condos; landed property needs approval; 60% ABSD for foreigners. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
How this figure is built
The price figure for Singapore is built from recorded transaction prices. It was last refreshed on 2026-09-14. We rate our confidence in this market’s data medium: the series is usable, but thinner or less current than our best-covered markets. We recompute every market the same way; a figure that fails our checks is suppressed, not guessed.
