What rate would a good rental yield be at

In the context of Singapore's real estate market, a good rental yield can vary depending on the type of property and the location. However, here are some general guidelines:

For private residential properties, a rental yield of around 2-4% is often considered reasonable. This range can fluctuate based on factors such as the property's location, age, and the overall market conditions.

For example, in the first quarter of 2025, rental rates for private homes saw a modest growth, with 20,409 leasing transactions recorded, indicating a stable rental market. A yield within the 2-4% range would be competitive given the current market trends.

It's also important to consider that rental yields can be higher in certain segments, such as the Core CBD Grade-A office space, where rents have shown signs of recovery, but this is more relevant to commercial properties rather than residential ones.
