Gross rental yields in Singapore average 3.51%, unchanged from last year. 

Buying prices average US$12,295 per square metre, somewhat lower than last year’s average prices of US$13,686.  This reflects the rather substantial price falls Singapore has experienced. 

The price fall in the 1st quarter this year was particularly bad, with a 14% price drop reported by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and a 21% price fall over the year (or 22.7% after inflation).

This figure is outdated in the current market. Typically a Condo with a price tag of 1m can be rented out at about 4k/month which is about 4.8% gross yield. An HDB priced at 400k can be rented out for 2k/month which is 6% gross yield. Therefore, I think the data are dated already.
