Listed property groups worth a look despite lack of share price catalysts for now

I OFTEN hear gripes about high private home prices in Singapore, a trend mirrored in other global cities. There is a sense that one should get on the private homeownership ladder soon, before prices escalate further.
However, while one may struggle to snare a unit that is being sold at market value at a hot new condominium launch, one can buy some proxies for Singapore property at deeply discounted prices on the local bourse.
Shares of established property development and investment groups – Frasers Property , GuocoLand , Ho Bee Land , Singapore Land Group , UOL Group and Wing Tai Holdings – are trading at discounts to their last reported net asset values (NAVs) of between 48 per cent and 64 per cent, based on share prices as at Oct 10, 2022.
