SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The most profitable deal during the week of June 2 to 9 was the sale of a 1,345 sq ft unit at 11 Amber Road, a freehold development in District 15. According to URA caveats, the two-bedroom unit was sold for $1.78 million ($1,323 psf) on June 2. It was bought for $729,000 ($542 psf) in September 2005. Thus, the seller earned a $1.05 million (144%) profit, which translates to an annualised profit of 6.2% over close to 15 years.
Based on the matching of URA caveats, this transaction is the second most profitable deal ever recorded at 11 Amber Road. The most profitable transaction at the condominium was for the sale of a 1,507 sq ft unit which fetched $2.06 million ($1,366 psf) in February 2018. The seller had bought the property for $1 million ($664 psf) in September 2006, which means he walked away with a profit of $1.06 million (106%). This translates to an annualised profit of 6.5% over 11 years.

The second most profitable deal during the week in review occurred at Kovan Melody in District 19. The seller of a 1,410 sq ft unit earned a profit of $987,000 (121%) when the property sold for $1.8 million ($1,277 psf) on June 3. The four-bedroom unit was previously purchased for $813,000 ($577 psf) in October 2004, translating to an annualised profit of 5.2% over more than 15 years.
This recent resale transaction is also the most profitable deal ever recorded at Kovan Melody.
