2. Undersupply of units
Demand (Take-up) > Supply (Launches) since 2017. The upcoming new launches from 2018-2021 are not enough to meet demands. Furthermore the steady influx of immigration numbers into Singapore adds to the demand. On the supply side, the new enbloc properties will be coming to the market earliest in 2022 only. Too late to meet up with the demand. As demand is more than supply, this is a fundamental reason why prices are going up. That is why developers are bidding aggressively on en bloc apartments and Government Land Sales (GLS).

Why Should You Invest Property in Singapore?
1. Property cannot be priced at $0.
Most properties in Singapore has a leasehold of 99 years, 999 years or freehold, more than enough for generations. This is unlike other investment vehicles such as stocks which are dependent on the business performance and may go bankrupt anytime. Hence many deem property investment to be a safe haven.
2. Huge returns using leverage in property
You can pay for a property using just 20% downpayment and service the rest of the mortgage using bank loan. To calculate the return on investment, the capital gain should not be divided by the original property price, but by the amount of money actually spent so far. For example, if you have a $1 million property and 2 years later it goes up to $1.2 million, your return on investment is not only 20%, but almost 100% considering you only paid $200,000 downpayment and the mortgage for 2 years. And you will get rental income. The rental income may cover the mortgate and taxes to be positive cashflow on monthly basis.
3. Land Scarce Singapore - Property Uptrend
When 4 of 10 Forbes Richest in Singapore in 2017 get their fortunes from properties, is it no wonder that property investment in Singapore seems like a sure bet? With potentially 6.9 million residents expected to populate Singapore by 2030, the demand for land will never diminish. It seems likely that the value of private properties will never be zero in Singapore even for leasehold properties of 99 years as the older properties will likely be taken up by developers through enbloc sales.
