How to read this ranking
The Market Demand Signal reads multi-source demand signals and places each nationality at a buying stage for Singapore and for apartments: Ready to buy, Near-purchase or Researching. The earlier the stage, the further from a decision — so the markets at the top are where marketing budget and broker effort tend to convert best.

They are not transaction records and are not sourced from, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Saudi REGA, or any other government authority. Figures are aggregated and anonymized — never individual buyer data.
