The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Ardmore Park was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of April 16 to 23. The 2,885 sq ft unit on the 15th floor fetched $12.5 million ($4,333 psf) on April 22. The seller had bought the unit in February 2007 for $6 million ($2,080 psf). This means they reaped a profit of $6.5 million after owning the unit for over 17 years. This translates to a capital gain of 108%.
Data compiled on EdgeProp Research indicates that the deal is the seventh most profitable condo resale transaction ever logged at Ardmore Park. It comes two months after another 2,885 sq ft unit was sold for $12.9 million ($4,472 psf) on Feb 16. The seller, who had purchased the unit for $5.83 million ($2,022 psf) in July 1996, raked in a profit of $7.07 million (121%) after a holding period of more than 27½ years.
