Property Market Sentiments

[corydorus]

I do a quick Google on rental yield for a few countries and here's what i found.

Gross Rental Yields - Taiwan Compared to Continent
Philippines 7.51%
Singapore 2.83%
Hong Kong 2.82%
India 2.22%
Taiwan 1.57%

What this mean is rental yield has much smaller impact considering Taiwan has only 1.57% whereas Singapore is high 2.83% and S$ currency is stronger than theirs. So I feel for Singapore, Jobless rate will be a key driver and we already see some impact since last year.

The rental yield has to be adjusted by inflation to get the real yield for a better comparison

Just my 2cts

I did add currency strength which should mitigate some.  Taiwan and SG currencies are relatively stable between themselves.
