The sale of a unit at Regency Park was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of Aug 13 to 20. The 3,649 sq ft unit on the fourth floor changed hands for $7.84 million ($2,149 psf) on Aug 14. The seller, who bought the unit in February 2001 for $2.95 million ($808 psf), reaped a profit of $4.89 million. This reflects a capital gain of 166% for the seller, who owned the unit for 23½ years.

This is the second most profitable resale transaction ever registered at Regency Park. The record belongs to a 6,415 sq ft penthouse that fetched $14.11 million ($2,200 psf) in August 2022. The seller had bought the unit in April 1998 for $5.5 million ($857 psf), which means they raked in a gain of $8.61 million (156%). The deal also topped the list of most profitable condo resale transactions for 2022.

The second-biggest gain made on a resale transaction during the week in review was the sale of a 1,550 sq ft, four-bedroom unit at Haig Court. The sixth-floor unit fetched $3 million ($1,935 psf) on Aug 14. The seller acquired the unit from the developer in June 2004 for about $940,000 ($607 psf). Hence, they netted a gain of $2.06 million (219%) after owning the unit for roughly 20 years.

This is the fifth most profitable resale transaction logged thus far at Haig Court. The top gain on a unit at the development came from selling a 4,037 sq ft, five-bedroom unit in November 2007 for $4.8 million ($1,189 psf). The seller, who bought the unit in October 2005 for $1.87 million ($463 psf), made a profit of $2.93 million.
