    SINGAPORE’S prime residential properties chalked up the biggest losses – losing between S$780,000 and S$2.1 million in value – and accounted for the majority of loss-making deals in the second quarter of 2024. 

    Still, the majority of resale transactions in the Core Central Region (CCR) – at 80 per cent – remained profitable in Q2, data crunched for The Business Times by Cushman & Wakefield showed.

    The biggest money-making deal by quantum in Q2 was for a 2,885 square foot (sq ft) unit in Ardmore Park in the prime District 10.
