Living in Singapore may be pleasant, desirable and a dream for many, but it certainly isn’t cheap. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s latest Worldwide Cost of Living survey confirmed the unwelcome news that it has now displaced Tokyo as the most expensive city on the planet in which to stay. Sky-high domestic prices mean that deep pockets are required to invest in the Lion City’s property sector. Thankfully, there is still incredible-value real estate for sale in Singapore – it is just that the property in question is overseas. Indeed, there is no better place to be than the Lion City on 29-30 March for those looking to score a sweet deal on real estate. Showcasing the best in overseas luxury property, the SMART International Property Expo is a timely reminder that it pays to look beyond Singapore when investing in real estate. Experts have predicted that property prices will drop this year due to government cooling measures and mortgage curbs. However, high quality real estate in Singapore represents scant value and remains beyond the reach of many. Therefore the SMART Expo – Asia’s longest running international property and investment expo – provides an invaluable service in catering to growing consumer appetite for purchasing overseas property. The expo will showcase property from all over the world in a wide range of property types. These include everything from condominiums, villas and townhouses to resort property and inner city apartments. The spread of destinations is also mouth-watering. While property markets in other Southeast Asian countries are becoming more robust, they still represent incredible value – especially in comparison to Singapore. Investors looking to live the tropical dream can cast their eye over beachside opportunities in regional destinations such as Phuket in Thailand and Borocay in the Philippines. Urbanites, meanwhile, may be more attracted to condo units in Tokyo or an investment property in London. Onsite deals at the expo include downtown Melbourne condominiums from USD150k, award-winning beach view residences in Bali for under USD800K plus residential projects from Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, UK, USA and many others. Not only does it showcase great deals, SMART provides a valuable educational experience for anyone who wants to learn more about investing in property. Visitors can attend interactive seminars and panel discussions on consumer investment and the local and overseas property market. Highlights of this year’s seminar line up include a panel discussion on the “Top 5 Cities in which to Invest” where international experts will share their tips on which regions they would buy property. Meanwhile, Singaporeans can get expert advice from Aden Pang of OCBC Singapore on how to obtain overseas property financing. In fact, many of the speakers at SMART are best-selling property and investment authors. That means that the expo also represents an exciting opportunity for guest to meet these superstars of the investment world in person and perhaps get their books autographed. So, if you are looking at investing in property or are looking to expand and diversify your investment portfolio, SMART looks like a very sensible choice indeed.
