About this Blog
The rental index has performed strongly since the beginning of 2005, rising by 74.3% to date. This was on the back of a declining vacancy rate that fell from 8.8% to 6.3% over the same period and the key contributing factor to this decline was the flurry of enbloc sale tenders that reduced the amount of available properties in the market. However, the cooling down of the enbloc fever will see fewer properties being taken out of the market, which together with an impending supply of an estimated 59,540 units to be completed between 2008 and 2011, we could see vacancy rate increasing over the next few years. And this would lead to a more muted outlook for rental rates amidst a more uncertain economic outlook.

Dear visitors:
Your comments are most welcome!
The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
Smart Buyer :)
