First, some details about the methodology which entails a comparison of sales caveats. The gains garnered for the units were derived by matching the condo resale transactions in October with their previous purchase prices according to caveats lodged. The average profit was subsequently computed on a project basis. To minimise sampling errors, resale condominium projects that posted fewer than five transactions during the month are excluded from the study.

^projects with fewer than 5 transactions in the month are excluded from this analysis*Gains are derived from the resale transaction for each unit against the unit's last caveated transaction; the average profit is determined on the profits of all resale transactions in the development which occurred during the month. The profit reflected is gross - it has not accounted for the applicable seller's stamp duties, interest payable, taxes and other relevant divestment costs.#Annualised Gains is the compounded annual rate of return which shows the rate of return over the time period between the point of resale and the property's last caveated transaction, expressed in annual percentage terms. The formula for determining this is simply: [(current resale price) / (purchase price)] time period in years-1Analysis was done based on available data from URA Realis
