The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Peach Garden was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of Feb 20 to 27. The 2,766 sq ft unit on the sixth floor fetched $5.1 million ($1,844 psf) on Feb 21. The seller had purchased it in October 2000 for $1.6 million ($578 psf), which means they raked in a profit of $3.5 million. This works out to a capital gain of 219% over a holding period of nearly 23½ years.
This is the second most profitable resale transaction recorded at Peach Garden to date, based on caveats lodged. The most profitable transaction was the sale of a penthouse measuring 5,231 sq ft for $6.85 million ($1,309 psf) in January 2012. The seller, who had purchased the unit in April 2004 for $3.25 million ($621 psf), made a gain of $3.6 million on the deal.

The condo is a five-minute walk to the Tanjong Katong MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line which is slated to open in June.
The second most profitable condo resale deal during the week in review was the sale of a four-bedroom unit at Glentrees. The 3,671 sq ft unit on the first floor fetched $4.4 million ($1,199 psf) on Feb 22. The seller, who had bought the unit from the developer in May 2004 for $1.5 million ($409 psf), netted a gain of $2.9 million on the transaction. This translates to a capital gain of 193% for the seller after holding the unit for nearly 20 years.
This is the most profitable transaction to occur thus far at Glentrees. It beats the previous record gain of $2.7 million made by the seller of a 3,671 sq ft unit last August. The four-bedder was purchased by the seller for $1.7 million ($463 psf) in June 2005 and later sold in August 2023 for $4.4 million ($1,199 psf).

The remaining units are Garden Apartments which resemble conventional condo units. The apartments comprise two- to four-bedders of 1,346 to 1,884 sq ft.
Meanwhile, the least profitable condo resale transaction during the week in review took place at The Laurels. A four-bedroom penthouse unit measuring 4,768 sq ft was sold for $9 million ($1,887 psf) on Feb 21. It was purchased by the seller from the developer in March 2010 for $9.79 million ($2,053 psf). Thus, they suffered a loss of about $790,000 or 8% after owning the apartment for 14 years.
This is the fourth most unprofitable resale transaction at The Laurels to date, based on caveats lodged. The biggest loss was accrued for the sale of a 1,313 sq ft unit in November 2017. The unit had fetched $2.88 million ($2,193 psf). The seller, who had acquired it in April 2010 for $3.81 million ($2,900 psf), incurred a loss of about $928,000.
