Yahoo Finance Seller incurs $3.17 mil loss at Seascape on Sentosa
The seller of a 2,336 sq ft, three-bedder at Seascape in Sentosa Cove incurred a $3.17 million loss when the unit was sold on May 23. This was the most unprofitable transaction during the week of May 21 to 28.
The ground-floor unit was one of the first to be purchased when the seafront condo in Sentosa’s residential enclave was first launched for sale in March 2010. At the time, the owner paid $6.27 million ($2,682 psf) for the property. The unit was sold for $3.1 million ($1,327 psf) after a holding period of about nine years. The May sale translates to an annualised loss of 7% for the seller.
