The most profitable resale transaction over the week of Aug 8 to 15 was the sale of a 1,981 sq ft unit at Teresa Ville in District 4. The three-bedroom unit, on the 19th floor, fetched $3.15 million ($1,590 psf) on Aug 8. The unit had been bought for $1 million ($507 psf) back in June 1998. As a result, the seller raked in a profit of $2.15 million (213%) on the transaction, which translates to an annualised gain of 4.6% over 25 years.

This makes it the second most profitable sale at Teresa Ville.

That unit had previously fetched about $960,800 ($485 psf) in April 2006. Thus, the sale of the unit set a record profit of $2.32 million (242%), or an annualised profit of 7.5% over 17 years.
