Muted Rental Outlook - Property Price Dampen

Property prices could go down with rental rates.

Historically, the rental index and property price index have exhibited a strong correlation and the recent strong performance of the Property Price Index (PPI) was well backed by the run-up in the rental index Strong rental rates will attract more buyers to invest in properties for the yield and thus driving property prices higher. However, the more muted outlook for rental rates could be another catalyst to dampen property prices going forward.

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 :)
