Among the condos and apartments that hit a new peak in terms of psf-price transacted between April 19 and April 26, Newton Suites ranked the highest. This was achieved with the sale of a 1,238 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the 28th floor for $3.05 million on April 22. The price translates to $2,464 psf.

This is 7.8% higher than the apartment’s former record of $2,286 psf that was set in July 2022 when the unit on the 17th floor in the same stack was sold for $2.83 million.

Elsewhere, Oxley Edge also hit a new high in terms of psf-price during the period of review with the sale of a 377 sq ft one-bedroom unit for about $890,000 on April 25. This works out to $2,362 psf.

The new record beats the previous peak of $2,336 psf set over five years ago in March 2019. It was achieved through the sale of a similar 377 sq ft one-bedroom unit for about $$880,000. The unit sold on April 25 was purchased from the developer in September 2013 for about $852,000 or $2,263 psf. Thus, the seller made a profit of about $38,000.

This is the third resale transaction logged at Oxley Edge so far this year. Based on URA caveats lodged, six units at the apartment were sold in the last 12 months at an average price of $2,102 psf.

At the other end of the table, The Residences at W Singapore Sentosa Cove hit a new psf-price low for the second week running. This comes with the resale of a 1,625 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the third floor for about $2.67 million, or $1,645 psf, on April 25.

The new low comes amid a series of sales at the luxury condo in the past month. On April 15, Cityview Place Holdings, an associate of Singapore-listed property group City Developments, released several units it still owns at the condo for sale by placement.

Caveats for 12 units at The Residences at W were lodged between April 15 and April 26. The units were sold at an average price of $1,783 psf. The sales have coincided with back-to-back new lows.

Before that, the sale of another 1,658 sq ft unit fetched about $2.84 million ($1,716 psf) on April 18.
