What is a good rental yield in Singapore?
The average gross yield in Singapore is 3.5%. A yield above this is considered good. Smaller units (studios, 1BR) typically yield more than larger apartments because purchase prices don't scale proportionally with rent.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield = (annual rent ÷ property price) × 100. It ignores costs. Net yield deducts operating expenses — maintenance, management fees, insurance, and vacancy periods — typically 15–20% of gross rent. In Singapore, the estimated net yield averages ~2.9%.
Which property type gives the best yield in Singapore?
Studios and 1-bedroom apartments typically offer the highest gross yields in Singapore because entry prices are lower relative to rental income. Studios average around 4.3% gross yield, while 3+ bedroom units may yield 2.9% or less.
