A suburban condo project in District 16 - Waterfront Gold - pulled in average resale gains of more than $658,000 across six resale transactions in October. The top 10 most profitable projects in the month of October were varied, with developments located around the island, based on URA Realis caveat data 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 October 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 five transactions during the month are excluded from the study.
Resilient resale condo activity in October
The resale market momentum carried over in October, with 1,007 condo units worth $1.89 billion being resold during the month compared with the previous month, which saw 1,037 resale transactions valued at nearly $1.95 billion being done. In October, the top 10 most profitable projects had average profits ranging from $350,000 to $658,000. By a ranking of the average profit, six projects are in the Outside Central Region (OCR), four out of the top 10 projects are in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), there were no projects in the Core Central Region (CCR) which made the top 10 rankings.

^projects with fewer than 5 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-1Analysis was done based on available data from URA Realis
Most of the projects that made the top 10 list are developments that have desirable locational or physical attributes, such as being close to an MRT station (Park Colonial, Botanique at Bartley), close to a waterbody (Waterfront Gold, Eight Riversuites), or are recently completed developments (Parc Esta, Sturdee Residences).

City centre homes dominate top individual gainers
In October, the top gainers heralded from mostly Central Region homes, with the CCR leading the pack, pulling in bigger numbers in terms of profit quantum by individual deals. By a ranking of the gross profit, eight out of the top 10 transactions were for units in projects located in the CCR, only one transaction each in the RCR and OCR respectively made the top 10 ranking.
The gross profits of the top 10 transactions - based on caveats lodged - ranged from $2.23 million to $3.05 million. In October, the units which chalked up larger gains were mostly sizeable large format condos that are more than 1,400 sq ft in size, and consisted mostly of older projects built in the 1990s to early 2000s. The respective holding periods for the top 10 resale properties were mostly beyond 10 years - with only one transaction for a unit that was held for more than 8 years.
Top 10 Resale Condo transactions in October 2024 by gross profit
It was found that the most profitable transaction in October 2024 was for a 7th floor unit at Goodwood Gardens, a CCR project. It was resold for an estimated profit of $3.05 million, reflecting an annualised profit of 4.3%. Based on URA Realis caveat data, the 2,121-sq ft unit was first bought in April 2004 and subsequently resold for $5.3 million in October 2024, with a holding period of 20 years. The project was built in 2004 and is situated in Newton. It is just a 10-minute walk to Newton MRT station on the North-South line (NSL) and Downtown line (DTL).
The top gainer in the city fringe in terms of gross profit was for unit transacted at Parkshore in district 15 along Tanjong Rhu Road, which fetched a gross profit $2.32 million (annualised profit of 6.6%) based on caveats lodged. The 1,647-sq ft ground-floor apartment was sold for $3.3 million, with a holding period of more than 17 years. The freehold waterfront project was built in 1995 and is also a short walk to the newly-opened Tanjong Rhu MRT station on the Thomson-East-Coast line (TEL).
The only top 10 gainer in the suburbs for the month was for a 9th floor unit located in Parc Palais. The 2,799-sq ft unit was sold for $4.1 million, achieving an estimated profit of around $2.9 million which reflects a decent annualised profit of 5.7% over a holding period of 22 years. The sprawling condominium project is about 10 minutes' walk to the Hillview MRT station on the Downtown line. Residents can walk to nearby commercial and dining amenities at The Rail Mall and HillV2.
Modest gains garnered by resale transactions continue to prevail over the resale market, as downside risks persist amidst the moderating economic growth and simmering job market. With interest rate cuts starting to moderate and new launch sales picking up, resale activity and gains could pick up in the months ahead.
