Does it make sense to buy a $1.6 million condo in Singapore if I plan to rent out the 2-bedroom unit

Buying a **1.6 million SGD condo** in Singapore and renting out a 2-bedroom unit can make sense, but whether it's a good investment depends on factors like location, rental demand, and your financial goals. **Key Considerations:** - The **average gross rental yield** for condos in Singapore is between 3% and 4% in 2025. For a property purchased at 1.6 million SGD, this generally translates to annual rental income of around 48,000 to 64,000 SGD before costs. - For 2-bedroom condos, the gross long-term rental yield is typically around 3.4% to 3.5%. On a 1.6 million property, that's about 54,400 SGD per year in rent. - Rental rates for a 2-bedroom condo vary by location: - **Core Central Region (CCR):** $4,500–$6,500/month - **Rest of Central Region (RCR):** $3,500–$5,000/month - **Outside Central Region (OCR):** $2,500–$4,000/month Premium locations or prime districts may offer slightly lower yields but stronger long-term capital appreciation potential. - Singapore's rental market has strong fundamentals and high occupancy rates, but yields are generally modest compared to other countries. Returns are often driven as much by **capital appreciation** as by rental income. - You should also factor in property taxes, maintenance, agent fees, and any periods where the unit might be vacant. **When Does It Make Sense?** - If you prioritise stable returns and the probability of long-term property value growth, this is a typical investment profile in Singapore. - The numbers are more attractive if your condo is in a district with strong expatriate or professional rental demand and is near MRT stations or amenities. - If you are financing the purchase, consider your mortgage rate and rental income yield.
