Summary

Fundamentally the whole Singapore REITs is slightly over value. Office and Hospitality sectors are still undervalue but have not seen any clear turnaround signs yet. Technically Singapore REITs is currently facing the resistance of 820 and will turn to medium term bearish if 800 support is broken. This correction may present a great opportunity to accumulate REITs as the Singapore economy fundamental is strengthening.

This is the time we have to start to do homework and wait for the correction to plan the entry.  I will be sharing how to find the fundamental strong REITs and how to time the entry in my Investing in Singapore REIT course here.
