Among condos that achieved new psf-price highs during the period of June 25 to July 5, boutique development Sanctuary@Newton topped the list with a new high of $2,835 psf. This comes with the developer sale of a 1,216 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the 12th floor for $3.45 million on July 2.
The new high marks the first time a unit at Sanctuary@Newton has transacted above $2,800 psf. It beats the previous record price of $2,722 psf set at the condo with the sale of a 1,055 sq ft unit for $2.87 million on June 20.

Caveats lodged with URA show that the condo logged its first and sole sale last year when a 1,054 sq ft unit fetched $2.71 million ($2,571 psf) on July 26. This year, eight units have been taken up to date at an average price of $2,684 psf.
Another boutique freehold development, Loft@Holland on Holland Road, also hit a new psf-price peak during the period in review. A 323 sq ft, one-bedroom unit on the fourth floor changed hands for $878,000 on July 1, which translates to $2,719 psf. This surpasses the previous high established a year ago when another 323 sq ft unit was sold for $868,888, or $2,691 psf.
The unit sold on July 1 was purchased by the seller in March 2017 for $720,000, which means they made a gross gain of $158,000 on the deal. It is the second resale transaction registered at the condo so far this year, after the sale of a 334 sq ft unit for $858,888 ($2,574 psf) on Feb 2.
