SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Freehold Residences @ Killiney topped the list of condos that hit a new record psf-price of $2,612 psf during the period of Aug 8 to 16. This came after a 1,550 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the third floor changed hands for $4.05 million on August 12.

The seller had bought the unit in a sub-sale transaction at $3.27 million ($2,108 psf) in June 2013. This means they made a net profit of about $781,888 on the August 12 sale.

The new psf-price record is 7.5% higher than the previous record of $2,430 psf set at the condo upon the resale of a 1,625 sq ft three-bedroom unit for $3.95 million in March 2023.

The apartment is within walking distance of River Valley Primary School and Somerset MRT Station on the North-South Line.

Another District 9 condo that achieved a new psf-price high during the period in review is Yong Ann Park on River Valley Road. The condo hit $2,505 psf when a 3,434 sq ft four-bedroom apartment on the 13th storey changed hands for $8.6 million on August 12. The seller had bought the unit for $1.88 million in July 1998. This means they made a net gain of $6.72 million on the sale.

The new psf-price high beats the previous record of $2,470 psf. This came from the resale of a similar-sized unit on the 12th floor for $8.48 million on April 8.

Yong An Park has seen a steady price appreciation in the last few years. Four units at the development have changed hands to date this year at an average price of $2,393 psf. This is nearly 7% higher than the average price of $2,238 psf from the sale of four units at the condo last year.

A third development, Parc Esta, also hit a new psf-price high during the period in review. A 958 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the 14th floor was sold for $2.33 million. This translates to $2,432 psf. The seller had bought the unit from the developer at $1.54 million ($1,608 psf) in December 2018. This means they netted a profit of $790,000.

The new psf-price high beats the previous record of $2,409 psf achieved less than three months ago on June 3. A 581 sq ft, two-bedder on the 12th floor was sold for $1.4 million. The seller had bought the unit from the developer at $1.03 million, or $1,775 psf, in November 2018. This translates into a net profit of about $368,000 on the June 3 transaction.
