Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, the property agent who handled the transaction shared that the flat was sold to a young couple.
Since the apartment is close to their parents’ home, the first-time buyers were eligible for the S$20,000 Proximity Housing Grant.
The agent said upon hearing about the million-dollar transaction last September, the sellers had confidence in setting a similar asking price.

They were planning to purchase a condominium after selling their flat and were willing to wait for the right buyer to come along.
The agent noted that the unit attracted lots of interest from potential buyers as it is near the MRT station and three shopping malls.
He said that the couple was probably willing to shell out such a high amount for the flat as it has plenty of room for them to start a family.
Moreover, their parents can help look after their children since they live nearby, and Zhenghua Primary School is also in the area.
“The buyers need not spend too much time and money on renovations so they can move in quickly,” the agent added.
