Ask Buddy
The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Maple Woods emerged as the most profitable condo resale deal for the period of Jan 13 to 18. The 2,917 sq ft unit on the sixth floor changed hands for $6.2 million ($2,125 psf) on Jan 16. The seller had previously purchased the unit in April 2007 for $2.68 million ($919 psf). As a result, the seller reaped a profit of $3.52 million, representing a capital gain of 131.2%, after owning the unit for almost 19 years.
The unit was the first resale deal Maple Woods has seen this year and the second most profitable resale transaction logged at the development to date. The record profit of $3.99 million belongs to the sale of a 2,551 sq ft, four-bedroom unit, which was sold for $5.45 million ($2,136 psf) in May 2025. This translates to an annualised gain of 6.4% over a holding period of more than 21 years.
