SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The top gains for the period of July 21 to 28 were led by the sale of a unit at Duchess Crest, located along Duchess Avenue, which reaped a profit of $1.51 million. The 1,722 sq ft unit on the third floor was bought for $920,000 ($534 psf) in November 2005 and sold for $2.43 million ($1,411 psf) on July 24. The seller therefore made a 164% profit, or an annualised profit of 7% over almost 15 years.

Meanwhile, a unit sold at Fernwood Towers — located along Fernwood Terrace in District 15 — made the third largest gain over the week, netting a 75% profit of $1.12 million for the seller. The 2,497 sq ft unit on the 10th floor was bought in June 1999 for $1.5 million ($601 psf), and sold for $2.62 million ($1,049 psf) on July 24.

On the other hand, the greatest loss incurred over the week in review was from the resale of a 2,131 sq ft unit at Sui Generis in District 10. Having sold the property for $4.25 million ($1,994 psf) on July 22, the seller suffered a 21% loss of $1.13 million. The unit was purchased in December 2007 for $5.38 million ($2,524 psf). Over a holding period of about 12½ years, this translates into an annualised loss of 2%.
