SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a four-bedroom unit at The Sea View was the most profitable condo resale transaction recorded during the week of Oct 24 to 31. The 1,647 sq ft unit on the seventh floor changed hands for $3.96 million ($2,405 psf) on Oct 26. It was purchased by the seller from the developer in March 2006 for $1.24 million ($753 psf). Thus, the seller made a gross profit of $2.72 million or 219% upon selling the unit, which they had held for around 17½ years.
This is the most profitable resale transaction ever recorded at The Sea View, based on caveats lodged. It beats the previous record gain of $2.48 million netted by the seller of a 2,809 sq ft unit in April 2021. The unit, which had been purchased by the seller for $2.52 million ($897 psf) in October 2005, was sold for $5 million ($1,780 psf).
