Luxury Property in Singapore
The cleanest governance in Asia — at a price.
The market in one paragraph
Singapore is where Asian family capital parks for safety. Foreign buyers can own condominiums freely; landed housing is restricted. Entry costs are high because additional buyer stamp duty is deliberately punitive for non-residents.
Who this market suits
- Capital preservation
