Keito, funny that some people are commenting these official surveys are painting too rosy a picture (see: http://www.salary.sg/2008/degree-holder-is-your-income-above-the-median/#comments ), and yet some like yourself are saying the reported numbers seem low!
Well, to try to answer your question, maybe the people buying properties are wealthy foreigners, rich expats, or high-income couples earning >$10,000/mth who borrowed heavily (a loan of $1m repayable over 30 years at 5% pa requires a monthly installment of $5,400 which is not beyond their reach).
