Apartments in Singapore’s Core Central Region have experienced slight price-rises over the past year, with prices increasing by 2% during the year to Q1 2012, according to Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

This is in line with Global Property Guide’s latest survey. We found apartment prices had increased by around 1.4% in US$ terms between May 2011 and May 2012 – but then the Singaporean Dollar has fallen by around 2% against the US$ in the same period.

Rents have also increased by around 2% during the year to Q1 2012, according to URA. This increase is also in line with what we found, only we observed around 0.8% increase in the average rents per sq. m.

Gross rental yields in Singapore however remain very poor, ranging from 2.58% to 3.01%.
