Data-driven Singapore property analytics
Our Mission
ShiokNest.com provides free, transparent property analytics to help Singapore buyers, sellers, and investors make informed decisions. We believe access to quality market data should not be behind a paywall.
Data Sources
We aggregate transaction data from official government sources to provide accurate, up-to-date market insights.
URA REALIS ↗
Official transaction records for all private residential property sales and rentals in Singapore.
MAS ↗
Monetary Authority of Singapore — interest rate benchmarks (SORA), financial regulations, and mortgage guidelines.
IRAS ↗
Inland Revenue Authority — stamp duty rates (BSD, ABSD, SSD) and property tax bands.
CPF Board ↗
Central Provident Fund — CPF housing withdrawal limits, accrued interest rules, and Valuation Limit.

Methodology
PSF Calculation
Price per square foot is calculated by dividing the transaction price by the floor area in square feet.
Yield Calculation
Gross rental yield is calculated as annual rent divided by the property value.
Trend Analysis
We use median values and moving averages to smooth out anomalies and show underlying market trends.
Calculator Models
Our calculators use standard financial formulas (amortization, IRR, NPV) with Singapore-specific rates and regulations.
