In this video, I delve into my personal decision as an Australian expat to rent property in Singapore rather than buying. Join me as I explore the key reasons behind this choice, offering my perspectives for fellow expats considering their living options in Singapore.
- Understanding the Singapore Property Market: I begin by providing an overview of Singapore's unique property market, highlighting how it differs from what I'm accustomed to in Australia.
- Financial Considerations: I break down the financial aspects of buying versus renting in Singapore, including the high cost of ownership, taxes, and the potential financial flexibility that comes with renting.
- Legal Restrictions and Ownership Rules: As a non-resident, there are specific legal restrictions and ownership rules in Singapore that can impact the buying process. I explain these and how they influenced my decision.
- Lifestyle Flexibility: I discuss how renting offers more flexibility, which is crucial for expats who might not have long-term plans in Singapore.
- Market Volatility and Investment Risks: I analyse the risks associated with investing in the Singaporean real estate market, especially for expats who may not be familiar with the local market dynamics.
