高级市场研究分析师

A city fringe condo project in Marine Parade – The Sea View – chalked up average resale gains of more than $1.2 million across four resale transactions in February. The top 10 most profitable projects in the month of February were varied, with projects located around the island, based on caveats analysed by PropNex Research.

First, some details about the methodology which entails a comparison of sales caveats. The gains garnered for the units were derived by matching the condo resale transactions in February with their previous purchase prices according to caveats lodged. The average profit was subsequently computed on a project basis. To minimise sampling errors, resale condominium projects that posted fewer than four transactions during the month are excluded from the study.

Fringe Condos top list of most profitable projects in February

Amidst a slowdown in developers’ sales, transactions in the resale market also remained tepid in February, with less than 700 condo units being resold during the month – as more buyers take their time to assess the market and gain more clarity before purchasing a property. In February, the top 10 most profitable projects had average profits ranging from $474,000 to $1,272,000. By a ranking of the average profit, the top three projects are in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), seven out of the top 10 projects are in the Outside Central Region (OCR), while only one project is located in the Core Central Region (CCR).

^projects with fewer than 4 transactions in the month are excluded from this analysis

*Gains are derived from the resale transaction for each unit against the unit’s last caveated transaction; the average profit is determined on the profits of all resale transactions in the development which occurred during the month. The profit reflected is gross – it has not accounted for the applicable seller’s stamp duties, interest payable, taxes and other relevant divestment costs.

#Annualised Gains is the compounded annual rate of return which shows the rate of return over the time period between the point of resale and the property’s last caveated transaction, expressed in annual percentage terms. The formula for determining this is simply: [(current resale price) / (purchase price)] time period in years-1

Analysis was done based on available data from URA Realis

Most of the projects that made the top 10 list were developments that have desirable locational or physical attributes, such as being in a central location (D’Leedon, The Interlace), close to an MRT station (The Sea View, Jewel @ Buangkok), or are newly-completed developments (Parc Riviera, Watertown).
