I received many inquiries regarding whether this is the right time to buy Singapore REIT. To tell you the truth: I do NOT know as I am not the fortune teller. No one can predict the direction of the stock market but it is important to understand the global economy and how those events can affect our investment plan and portfolio.

So, are the Singapore REITs cheap now? Is it the right time to pick up some REITs with high distribution yield?

I am going to put up all the facts and charts here for reference to give me an overview of current situation for my investing decision making.
See Singapore REIT comparison tables for Fundamental Analysis. In general, most of Singapore REITs are still over value. Let’s look at the charts of some Singapore REITs with large market capitalization.
CapitaMall (S$7.02B, S$2.03)
Ascendas REIT (S$5.52B, S$2.30)
CapitaComm (S$4.2B, S$1.465)
Suntec REIT (S$3.54B, S$1.57)
Keppel REIT (S$3.49B, S$1.30)
MapletreeCom (S$2.53B, S$1.225)
PLife REIT (S$1.47B, S$2.43)
In Summary base on the above charts, clearly the REITs are NOT trading in an uptrend. Some of them have broken 200D SMA and the charts are technically bearish. This means that the REIT prices can go even lower despite the current distribution yield looks attractive.
