A new record price psf of land area has been set after a Sentosa Cove bungalow was sold for S$32.5 million, or S$3,214 psf on the land area of 10,111 sq ft.
The Ocean Drive property was reportedly bought by a Malaysian citizen from a Singaporean investor, noted The Business Times.
This latest deal breaks the record set by another Sentosa Cove home sold for S$28.2 million, or S$2,989 psf on a land area of 9,436 sq ft back in 2010.
The coveted Sentosa Cove (pictured) is the only area in Singapore where foreigners are allowed to buy homes offered on a 99-year lease term.
Meanwhile, the landed residential segment remained buoyant in Q3 with a 1.1 percent rise against 0.6 percent for overall home prices, according to data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
The uptick is mainly attributed to detached homes which saw a two percent increase, compared to 0.6 and 0.8 percent respectively for semi-detached and terrace houses.
According to Knight Frank, this indicates on-going strong demand for luxurious homes that are scarce.
