    REAL estate honchos generally do not anticipate price cuts for new private home launches as a result of Singapore’s upcoming property tax increases, though some developers may try to buy more land in the suburbs, according to a quarterly survey.

    For its Q1 2022 survey, the National University of Singapore Real Estate (NUS+RE) sought the views of 39 senior executives in Singapore’s real estate industry, including developers, on the impact of the tax hikes on the private residential market. NUS+RE represents the Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies (IREUS) and the Department of Real Estate.
