SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The seller of a unit at The Balmoral, along Balmoral Park, made the top gain of $1.77 million over the week of Feb 11 to 18. The 3,154 sq ft unit on the first floor was bought for $2.96 million ($938 psf) in May 2006 and sold for $4.73 million ($1,500 psf) on Feb 17. The seller therefore made a 60% profit, or an annualised profit of 3% over almost 14 years.
Located in District 10, The Balmoral was completed in 1986 and comprises 81 freehold units. It is a 14-minute walk to the Stevens MRT Station on the Downtown Line.

The 1,173 sq ft unit on the fourth floor was purchased for $1.5 million ($1,278 psf) in July 2007 and sold for $3.05 million ($2,600 psf) on Feb 14. This means that the seller made an annualised profit of 6% over almost 13 years.
The Centrepoint, in District 9, comprises 66 units on a 99-year leasehold. It was completed in 1983 and is a four-minute walk to Somerset MRT Station on the North-South Line.
A unit sold at Valley Park, along River Valley Road in District 10, made the third largest gain over the week, netting a 133% profit of $1.33 million for the seller. The 1,356 sq ft unit on the sixth floor was bought in March 2004 for $1 million ($737 psf), and sold for $2.33 million ($1,718 psf) on Feb 17.
