A three-bedroom unit at Regency Park, in Prime District 10, was sold for a $2.47 million profit on Oct 10. The 3,175 sq ft unit on the 20th floor was bought in 2003 for $2.6 million ($819 psf) and sold for $5.07 million ($1,597 psf). This translates into an annualised profit of 5%.

This is the most profitable transaction at Regency Park this year. The second-largest profit this year was registered in August when a 3,647 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the 14th floor was sold for a $2.2 million profit.

There has been one unprofitable transaction at Regency Park this year, according to URA caveats.

In September, the owner of a 3,647 sq ft unit on the 15th floor incurred a loss of $530,000. The unit was purchased in 2012 for $6.88 million ($1,885 psf) and sold for $6.35 million ($1,740 psf).

Over in District 4, two units at Caribbean at Keppel Bay were sold for profits of $992,800 and $795,225.

On Oct 5, the owner of a 1,636 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the fifth floor made a $992,800 (65%) profit when the unit was sold for $2.5 million ($1,546 psf).

It's a rarity for such things though.... Prefer buying condos for cash flow rather than capital gains, considering how almost all of the 'capital gains' in Singapore are manipulated and controlled by super slow releasing of land parcels.
