The top 10 most profitable projects in the month of October were varied, with developments located around the island, based on URA Realis caveat data analysed by PropNex Research.
First, some details about the methodology which entails a comparison of sales caveats. The gains garnered for the units were derived by matching the condo resale transactions in October with their previous purchase prices according to caveats lodged. The average profit was subsequently computed on a project basis. To minimise sampling errors, resale condominium projects that posted fewer than five transactions during the month are excluded from the study.
