Research Methodology:

Our rental yield analysis is conducted biannually to ensure up-to-date insights. We assess 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom properties across the largest cities in Singapore, comparing median rental prices with median purchase prices to determine gross rental yields.

We source data from a leading local property platform, capturing both asking rents and list prices to reflect current market conditions. The gross rental yield is calculated using the following formula:

(Median Monthly Rent × 12) ÷ Median Purchase Price × 100

For example, if the median monthly rent is $500 and the median purchase price is $100,000, the yield is calculated as:

($500 × 12) ÷ $100,000 = 6% Gross Rental Yield

Note: NET yields vary from country to country, but are usually 1.5-2% lower.
