SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Kovan Residences was the most profitable condo resale transaction recorded during the week of Nov 28 to Dec 5, based on caveats lodged with URA. The 1,765 sq ft unit on the 12th floor fetched $2.97 million ($1,682 psf) on Nov 29.
The unit was purchased by the seller from the developer in April 2009 for $1.22 million ($693 psf). This means the seller netted a gain of $1.75 million, which translates to an annualised profit of 143% over a holding period of over 14½ years.
This is the most profitable resale transaction achieved to date at Kovan Residences. It beats the previous high recorded in April 2022, when the seller of a 1,765 sq ft unit made a profit of $1.27 million as it fetched $2.47 million ($1,399 psf).
