## Featured rationale

Profitable 2026 resales at The Claymore signal resilient demand for large freehold District 9 homes, while Draycott Eight’s losses suggest more selective luxury-segment pricing.

## AI summary

A 2,680 sq ft three-bedroom unit at The Claymore sold for $8.12 million on Sept 1, yielding a $3.86 million, or 90.6%, profit.

## Original article

The most profitable condo resale deal during the week of Aug 25 to Sept 1 involved a three-bedder at The Claymore, a freehold condo just off Orchard Road.

The 2,680 sq ft unit on the ninth floor changed hands for about $8.12 million ($3,032 psf) on Sept 1. The owner made a 90.6% profit — $3.86 million — having purchased the unit for around $4.26 million ($1,591 psf) in 1996. This translates to an annualised gain of 2.1% over 30 years.

But this is far from the top gain at The Claymore, going by caveats lodged. The record is held by a $9 million profit from the resale of a duplex penthouse in April 2020. The 4,919 sq ft, five-bedroom unit was transacted for $17 million — more than double the owner’s initial purchase price of $8 million back in March 2002.

Excluding the recent Sept 1 deal, The Claymore has recorded two other resale transactions this year, both of which were in the black. One involved a three-bedder which was sold for $8.22 million, resulting in a $4.02 million profit. The other was for a four-bedder that fetched $11.2 million, bringing in a profit of $2.25 million.

Completed in 1985, The Claymore, in prime District 9, has 146 apartments which come in three- to five-bedroom configurations with private lift access and range from 2,680 to 4,919 sq ft.

Situated along Claymore Road, the condo is about a seven-minute walk to malls on the Orchard Road retail belt, such as Shaw House and Far East Shopping Centre. On foot, Orchard MRT Interchange is around 12 minutes away, while Newton MRT Interchange is 16 minutes away.

The week’s second-most profitable condo resale transaction took place at The Hillside, a freehold development on Upper Bukit Timah Road in District 21.

The owner of a four-bedder netted a profit of $3.59 million (226.2%) when it was sold for $5.18 million on Aug 27. That works out to a 4.6% gain on an annualised basis across 26.5 years. The 2,648 sq ft unit on the 10th floor was originally purchased from the developer in 2000 for around $1.59 million.

This stands as the most profitable deal at the development so far. It is double the previous record set in April 2024, when the owner of another four-bedder reaped $1.79 million in profit. That unit was resold for $2.7 million; it was initially purchased from the developer for $909,800 in 1998.

URA data compiled by EdgeProp Research shows that The Hillside recorded two other resale deals this year. Both involved three-bedroom units, and were profitable. They were priced at around $2.32 million and $2.65 million, earning the sellers $1.22 million and $1.77 million in profits, respectively.

Completed in 2001, The Hillside features 340 units in two- to four-bedroom layouts measuring between 1,044 and 3,240 sq ft. Hume MRT Station is an 11-minute walk away. Amenities and eateries are available at the HillV2 shopping plaza and at The Rail Mall, which are about six to eight minutes away by car.

On the flip side, the steepest loss from condo resale deals during the week came from Draycott Eight in District 10.

A loss of $929,600 — amounting to 12.4%, or 0.7% when annualised over nearly 19 years — resulted from the Aug 28 sale of a four-bedder at the condo. The 2,896 sq ft unit on the seventh floor was sold at $6.6 million ($2,279 psf), considerably less than its previous purchase price of $7.53 million ($2,600 psf) in 2007.

Draycott Eight’s most unprofitable deal thus far took place about 17 years ago, going by caveats lodged. Back then, the owner of a penthouse lost $4.5 million when the 4,187 sq ft unit changed hands in 2009 for $8.8 million — well below its previous price tag of $13.3 million when it was bought in 2007.

Draycott Eight is a 99-year leasehold luxury condo on Draycott Park, completed in 2005. The 136-unit development offers two- to four-bedroom units, including simplexes, duplexes and penthouses.

Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) are within a 1km radius. Tanglin Club is across the road from the condo, while Far East Plaza is an eight-minute walk away.

This year, Draycott Eight has logged eight other resale transactions. Four of them were in the red, with losses amounting to between $55,600 and $589,790.

### 优质第9区The Claymore卖家斩获新币386万元利润

另一方面，第10区豪华公寓Draycott Eight一套四房单位转售则录得新币92万9600元亏损。

8月25日至9月1日当周最赚钱的公寓转售交易，来自乌节路附近永久地契公寓The Claymore的一套三房单位。

这套位于九楼、面积2,680平方英尺的单位于9月1日以约新币812万元（每平方英尺新币3,032元）易手。业主于1996年以约新币426万元（每平方英尺新币1,591元）购入该单位，此次获利90.6%，即新币386万元。这相当于30年来年化收益2.1%。

但根据已呈报的买卖备案，这远非The Claymore的最高获利。纪录由2020年4月一套复式顶层公寓转售录得的新币900万元利润保持。该套4,919平方英尺的五房单位成交价为新币1700万元，是业主2002年3月最初购入价新币800万元的两倍以上。

撇除近期这宗9月1日交易，The Claymore今年另有两笔转售成交，均录得盈利。其中一套三房单位以新币822万元售出，获利新币402万元；另一套四房单位成交价为新币1120万元，获利新币225万元。

The Claymore位于优质第9区，于1985年竣工，共有146个公寓单位，户型为三房至五房，配备私人电梯直达，面积介于2,680至4,919平方英尺。

该公寓位于Claymore Road，步行约七分钟即可到达乌节路零售带的商场，如邵氏大厦（Shaw House）和远东购物中心（Far East Shopping Centre）。步行约12分钟可达乌节地铁转换站，约16分钟可达纽顿地铁转换站。

当周获利第二高的公寓转售交易发生在The Hillside，这是位于第21区武吉知马路的永久地契项目。

一套四房单位于8月27日以新币518万元售出，业主净赚新币359万元（226.2%）。按26.5年计算，年化收益为4.6%。这套位于10楼、面积2,648平方英尺的单位，最初于2000年以约新币159万元从发展商购入。

这是该项目迄今最赚钱的一笔交易，是2024年4月前纪录的两倍。当时另一套四房单位的业主获利新币179万元。该单位转售价为新币270万元，最初于1998年以新币90万9800元从发展商购入。

EdgeProp Research汇编的市区重建局（URA）数据显示，The Hillside今年另有两笔转售成交。两笔均为三房单位，且均录得盈利，售价分别约为新币232万元和265万元，卖家分别获利新币122万元和177万元。

The Hillside于2001年竣工，共有340个单位，户型为两房至四房，面积介于1,044至3,240平方英尺。步行11分钟可达谦道地铁站。HillV2购物广场和The Rail Mall提供生活配套与餐饮，驾车约六至八分钟可达。

另一方面，当周公寓转售中亏损最深的一笔来自第10区的Draycott Eight。

该公寓一套四房单位于8月28日售出，录得新币92万9600元亏损，相当于12.4%，按近19年年化则为0.7%。这套位于七楼、面积2,896平方英尺的单位售价为新币660万元（每平方英尺新币2,279元），明显低于2007年先前购入价新币753万元（每平方英尺新币2,600元）。

根据已呈报的买卖备案，Draycott Eight迄今最不赚钱的交易发生在约17年前。当时一套顶层公寓的业主亏损新币450万元，该套4,187平方英尺的单位于2009年以新币880万元易手，远低于2007年购入时的新币1330万元。

Draycott Eight是位于Draycott Park的99年地契豪华公寓，于2005年竣工。该项目共有136个单位，提供两房至四房户型，包括单层单位、复式单位和顶层公寓。
