By now, Singaporeans are likely accustomed to hearing about highly sought-after HDB flats fetching exorbitant prices.
But it’s not every day that we come across transactions involving amounts comprised of auspicious numbers.
Recently, a four-room flat in Bedok changed hands for S$888,888.
Interestingly, the resale price isn’t the only huat aspect of the transaction — the price translates to about S$888 per square foot (psf).
The transaction was first reported by property website 99.co on Monday (22 April).
According to the report, the four-room flat is located at Block 188C Bedok North Street 4 and is part of the Fengshan Greenville BTO estate.
The development is located a stone’s throw away from Bedok 85 Market — a food haven for supper lovers.
A quick check on HDB’s resale portal confirmed that the transaction took place this month.
The flat occupies a position between the 16th and 18th floors and spans 1,001 square feet.
This translates to the buyer paying approximately S$888 per square foot for the apartment.
Currently, it has 94 years and 10 months remaining on its lease.
Lucky figure aside, it’s highly probable that the flat owner reaped a handsome profit from the transaction.
99.co revealed that four-room flats in this estate initially fetched an average price of S$404,500.
This implies that the previous owner gained approximately S$484,388 from the deal.
Interestingly, the Bedok HDB flat isn’t the sole apartment to change hands for an auspicious sum.
In January, a four-room flat in Sengkang was sold for S$808,888.
