On the other hand, the greatest loss incurred over the period was from the resale of a 2,013 sq ft unit at 8 Napier in District 10. Having sold the property for $5.8 million ($2,881 psf) on Oct 16, the seller sustained a 17% loss of $1.21 million. The unit was purchased in December 2007 for $7 million ($3,480 psf). Over a holding period of 12 years, this translates into an annualised loss of 2%.
