But in the longer term, Singapore property market is likely to show stability due to three reasons.

Singapore's GDP is already one of Asia's highest at an astonishing US$ 59,711 per person. Singapore has also been ranked fourth in the world in terms GDP per capita. This is an amazing feat, considering the island country has no natural resources and only a small land mass.

The second reason is that Singaporean has high home ownership rate. It has been estimated that up to 89 per cent of Singaporeans own their homes. Compare to some similar countries such as Hong Kong, which is around 30 per cent. This enables Singapore's government to intervene effectively whenever there is sharp price movements. The government is able to make effective policy changes to keep property price growth in line with the country's GDP growth. This is help moderate the price movements.
