JUST SOLD: Four over $900,000

Just over a week ago, three five-room HDB flats and one five-room DBSS unit were sold at over $900,000.

The most expensive transaction was at $968,000 for a 1,259 sq ft five-room HDB flat at 18C Holland Drive, Buona Vista Court. Completed in 2012, the property is located across the road from Holland Village and within 500m from both Holland Village MRT station of the Circle Line and Buona Vista MRT Interchange.

Excluding transactions at Pinnacle@Duxton, which makes up 9 out of the 19 transactions that crossed the $900,000 mark, as well as transactions for Maisonettes and DBSS units, the $968,000 transaction is the highest transaction for a HDB flat this year.
