Find out what are the best REITs in Singapore to buy in July 2025. Buying Singapore REITs is a good source of building your passive income.

How do you build a resilient Singapore REIT stock portfolio? The important thing in terms of building a resilient Singapore REIT portfolio is to be able to identify high quality REITs are those that constantly pay you dividends and are able to grow their Distribution Per Unit (DPU) year-on-year.
Every time Trump announced that he is going to impose tariffs on various countries, the stock market will either dip or crash. The Federal Reserve had also kept the funds rate at 4.25% to 4.50% for a third consecutive meeting in May 2025. At this point of writing, it is uncertain whether the Fed will cut rates in July. If the Fed does cut rates in July, the share prices of REITs may rally. This is where keeping a watchlist of quality REITs to buy comes in handy.

How to Find Singapore REITs to Buy?
In REIT investing, I use a common technique called stock screening. Singapore Stock screening is the process of filtering a large number of stocks based on specific criteria to identify potential investment opportunities. There are many stock screening tools out there. As such, it is not difficult to obtain a shorter list of good REITs and their current dividend yield for further analyse and decision making. Stock Screening tools allow you to screen REITs based on specific factors like P/E ratio, dividend yield, and other financial metrics.
For me, I use Stocks Café Stock Screener to screen for a list of REITs that meet my predefined criteria so that I have a shorter list of REITs to analyse. Below are the criteria that I used to screen for dividend stocks. You can adjust them to fit your risk appetite.
- Market Capitalization >= 1B
- Current Yield (%) >= 5 and <= 10
- Price / Book <= 3
Market capitalization
Market capitalization, often referred to as “market cap”, is a critical metric in evaluating stocks. It represents the total market value of a company’s outstanding shares of stock. You calculate it by multiplying the company’s current share price by the total number of its outstanding shares.
Market cap helps categorize companies into large-cap stocks, mid-cap stocks and small-cap stocks. Large-cap stocks are usually established companies with a long history of stable performance (e.g., global giants like Apple or Microsoft). These are considered less risky investments.
Mid-cap stocks are companies that are in the growth phase and offer higher growth potential but may carry more risk than large-cap stocks.
Small-cap stocks are smaller companies, often newer and less stable, which have the potential for significant growth but come with higher risk.
Investors use market cap to assess a company’s size and stability, compare it with its peers, and diversify their portfolios across different cap categories depending on their risk tolerance and investment goals. While market cap is important, it’s not the only factor to consider; fundamentals like revenue, profitability, industry trends, and future growth prospects are also crucial.
Current Dividend Yield
Dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It’s calculated as: Dividend Yield (%) = (Annual Dividends Per Share / Current Stock Price) × 100
Price / Book (PB Ratio)
The price-to-book (P/B) ratio is a valuation metric used to assess whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued relative to its book value. It’s calculated as: P/B Ratio = Market Price Per Share / Book Value Per Share
A P/B ratio lower than 1 could indicate that the stock is undervalued, while a higher P/B ratio might suggest it’s overvalued, assuming other factors remain constant.
