The greatest loss incurred over the week in review was from the resale of a 2,013 sq ft, three-bedroom unit at 8 Napier in District 10.

Over a holding period of 11.5 years, this translates into an annualised loss of 1%.
Located on Napier Road, 8 Napier is a freehold development comprising 46 units. Completed in 2010, it is a three-minute walk to the upcoming Napier MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is expected to be completed in 2021.
