New launch condo has always been the focal point of most content coverage in the Singapore real estate scene.With developers channeling substantial marketing budgets into major publications, and agents incentivized to push new launch projects, it’s no surprise that new launches take center stage.

Defining the “Best Resale Condo” in Singapore
Before shortlisting candidates for the best resale condo in Singapore, it is important to establish what “best” really means. From our perspective an optimal resale condo comprises of the following criteria
Proven Profitability
We use average annualised capital gain as a proxy. Only developments with a track record of above 4% annualised gain qualify for our shortlist. (For context, the industry’s average is closer to 3%.) This ensures we focus only on condos above average price appreciation.
Development Size
The number of units in a project directly influences transaction velocity and the rate at which new benchmark prices are being set. Small boutique condos often take 8–10 years before owners can realistically see meaningful gains due to slower transaction volume. For this reason, we only consider developments with more than 400 units, eliminating boutique projects that lack resale transaction volume.
Preference for Mega Developments
From experience mega developments provide more impressive facilities and a more appealing facade that will provide a strong appeal to future resale buyers. Beyond facade, Mega developments has the added advantage of greater awareness amongst buyers and agents. This brings about more searches and views within the property portal and results in greater viewing appointment and consequently higher sales conversion rate.
Transaction Volume
To ensure statistical significance, only projects with at least 30 recorded sales transactions are considered. This allows us to filter out projects that recorded high capital gain based on a few one off transactions.
Lease Life & Tenure Considerations
Taking into consideration that in order profit maximisation for resale condo requires longer holding duration. We will only shortlist condo that lease starts no later than 2018 and TOP no later than 2020. This ensures that our readers look into new projects that are free from lease decay.
Rental Yield
Considering that some of you may be looking to purchase pure investment property or potentially will be renting out the unit after living in it for a couple of years, we added in a filter for rental yield being above the average of 3%
Investment Attributes
Finally, beyond the numbers, we apply a qualitative screen for unique investment fundamentals. Projects with advantages such as being within 1km of sought-after primary schools, enjoying limited competition in their district, or offering exceptionally attractive entry prices will be given a more detailed commentary below.

After applying our seven strict investment filters across more than 500 resale condo developments in Singapore, only a select few projects made the cut.

Parc Clematis – Best Resale Condo in Clementi
Key Investment Proposition
Parc Clematis holds a strong and unique position in the Clementi neighbourhood. It is one of the few mega scale developments that not only offer desirable and efficient layouts but is also located within 1km of Nan Hua Primary School, a major advantage over its closest competitor, Clavon, which sits just outside the 1km radius.
In addition, Parc Clematis consistently outperforms its other closest competitor, The Trilinq due to its efficient layout, despite being further away from the MRT.
Price Catalysts
Parc Clematis is well-positioned to benefit from future new launch benchmarks in Clementi:
- Elta (launched 2025, TOP 2028): expected to set new benchmark price in the area.
- Faber Residences (expected TOP 2029): will further establish new benchmarks, giving Parc Clematis owners an additional catalyst for upward price movement.
Profitability Metrics
The project has demonstrated broad-based profitability across all unit types, with larger formats showing particularly strong performance:
This makes Parc Clematis one of the most profitable resale condos in Singapore 2025, offering exceptional gains amongst its 3,4 and 5 bedroom units and surprisingly its 2 bedroom unit did reasonably well as well bringing in a 5.4% capital gain with an average profit of $274k.
| Unit Type | Average Profit ($) | Average Annualised Capital Gain (%) | Holding Duration (Year) |
| 1 | 161,620 | 4.4 | 4.5 |
| 2 | 274,756 | 5.4 | 4.1 |
| 3 | 503,477 | 7.6 | 3.9 |
| 4 | 706,093 | 8.5 | 3.4 |
| 5 | 710,000 | 7.3 | 3.4 |
Ideal Investor Profile
- Families seeking a hybrid objective (homestay + investment upside).
- Investors targeting high-yield, high-capital-return 2-bedroom units.
Investment Horizon
4 to 5 years (mid-term), allowing time for price catalysts from upcoming launches to materialize.
Risks to Note
- The eventual launch of younger Elta, Faber Residences and existing younger resale development like Clavon can eventually place Parc Clematis as one of the “older developments in the Clementi area.
- Competitive Pricing: If Clavon units begin transacting at lower price points, buyer attention could shift away from Parc Clematis, impacting resale demand.
Jadescape – Best Resale Condo in Bishan / Thomson
Key Investment Proposition
Jadescape stands out as the newest and only mega-development in the Bishan/Thomson area, redefining the quality benchmark with its extensive facilities and modern facade. Its positioning is further strengthened by several unique investment drivers:
- Entrenched exit demand: Located within 1km of Catholic High Primary School, a top-tier institution, Jadescape appeals strongly to families determined to secure priority admission.
- Chinese PR demand: The project has seen consistent interest from Chinese permanent residents who have children studying in the nearby Catholic High Primary or Raffles Institution.
- Upgrader demand: Bishan remains an aspirational address for HDB upgraders monetising their high-value BTOs and ECs. Jadescape provides an attractive next-step property for this pool of buyers.
Price Catalysts
Upcoming projects will play a significant role in anchoring resale benchmarks:
- Thomson View En-bloc (future launch): likely to set new benchmarks in the Bishan-Marymount area.
- Chuan Park Residences (TOP): adds another price anchor that will indirectly set benchmark prices for Jadescape to price against
Profitability Metrics
Jadescape has demonstrated well-rounded profitability across all unit types, with standout performance in 2 bedroom and larger 3, 4 and 5 bedroom unit types..
The 2 bedroom segment has delivered exceptional gains for investors, while 3 to 5 bedroom units have commanded a premium due to scarcity of larger units in the Bishan/Thomson area.
| Unit Type | Average Profit ($) | Average Annualised Capital Gain (%) | Holding Duration (Year) |
| 1 | 153,356 | 3.7 | 4.3 |
| 2 | 323,230 | 5.3 | 4.4 |
| 3 | 520,794 | 6.6 | 4.3 |
| 4 | 766,662 | 7.0 | 4.0 |
| 5 | 1,122,000 | 6.3 | 4.8 |
| 6 | 4,350,000 | 11.9 | 5.0 |
Ideal Investor Profile
- Families seeking both investment and homestay value.
- Buyers with larger budgets aiming for high returns from 4 and 5 bedroom units.
- Investors looking to capture capital appreciation and rental yield via 2 bedroom units.
Investment Horizon
6 to 7 years (mid-term), allowing time for future benchmarks like Thomson View and Chuan Park Residences to materialise.
Risks to Note
- Premium pricing: Jadescape currently holds the title of the highest-priced development in Bishan/Marymount, which may limit immediate upside.
- Higher capital outlay: Buyers must be prepared for significantly larger capital input and monthly mortgage commitments due to its elevated price point.
Stirling Residences – Best Resale Condo in Queenstown
Key Investment Proposition
- Prime city-fringe location: Queenstown strikes the balance of central accessibility with a residential vibe, drawing steady interest from both upgraders and first-time buyers that are unconstrained by the need to be located near child’s school.
- Mega-development advantage: As the newest and only mega-project in Queenstown, Stirling Residences offers superior facilities and a modern facade, making it the flagship development in the area.
- Efficient layouts: Its unit designs are more compact compared to older competing projects. This gives it an overall advantage in purchase quantum, despite being priced at a higher psf price point.
Price Catalyst
The upcoming Penrith new launch in Queenstown is expected to set new benchmark in the area. This will provide Stirling Residences owners with an immediate reference point for higher resale pricing in the mid-term.
Profitability Metrics
Stirling Residences has shown healthy profitability across the board, with notable outperformance even in the larger unit types despite not being located within 1km radius of a reputable primary school.
The 1 and 2 bedroom units have delivered consistent returns, while the 3 and 4 bedroom units achieved surprisingly strong gains for a non-OCR project without a school-based demand anchor.
| Bedrooms | Average Profit ($) | Average Annualised Capital Gain (%) | Average Holding Period (Years) |
| 1 | 184,758 | 4.0 | 5 |
| 2 | 289,035 | 4.7 | 5 |
| 3 | 511,057 | 6.3 | 4 |
| 4 | 927,714 | 6.6 | 5 |
Ideal Investor Profile
- Investors and families without school-going children looking at smaller unit types for rental yield and capital appreciation.
- Families who prioritise a central location over proximity to schools, and value accessibility to the CBD and key city-fringe amenities.
Investment Horizon
4 to 5 years, leveraging on the Penrith launch and strong upgrader demand.
Risks to Note
- No parent demand driver: Lack of a reputable primary school within 1km means Stirling Residences does not have an entrenched demand from families prioritising child’s primary school admission.
- High 2 bedroom supply: 2 bedrooms may face more competition during the resale process.
- Limited future catalysts: Beyond Penrith, there are fewer new launches in the pipeline to set new pricing benchmarks.

Parc Esta – Best Resale Condo in Eunos
Key Investment Proposition
Parc Esta enjoys a unique and dominant position in the Eunos resale market. As the newest and only mega-development in the area, it is surrounded by older, smaller boutique condos, giving it a clear competitive edge in terms of facilities, appeal, and liquidity.
- No upcoming competition: With no comparable large-scale launches expected in the near future, Parc Esta is positioned to hold its market leadership in Eunos.
- Upgrader appeal: Its efficient layouts and extensive facilities have consistently attracted both HDB and condo upgraders from Eunos itself as well as neighbouring areas like Bedok.
Price Catalyst
- Paya Lebar Airbase transformation: The long-term redevelopment of Paya Lebar Airbase will uplift the entire East region, providing indirect growth potential for Parc Esta resale units.
Profitability Metrics
Parc Esta has delivered strong profits across all unit types, with particularly impressive results in the 2- to 4-bedroom categories. Notably, average holding periods remain short due to robust resale demand.
The 2-bedroom segment stands out as an exceptional performer, while 3- and 4-bedroom units command strong profits thanks to limited large-unit supply in the Eunos area.
| Bedrooms | Average Profit ($) | Average Annualised Capital Gain (%) | Average Holding Period (Years) |
| 1 | 184,758 | 4.0 | 5 |
| 2 | 289,035 | 4.7 | 5 |
| 3 | 511,057 | 6.3 | 4 |
| 4 | 927,714 | 6.6 | 5 |
Ideal Investor Profile
- Investors and families without children seeking smaller units for strong rental yield and resale upside.
- Families who value city-fringe accessibility over school proximity, and want to reside in a new development with superior facilities as compared to older boutique condos in the Eunos area.
Investment Horizon
- 4 to 5 years
Risks to Note
- No reputable primary school within 1km radius: Unlike Bishan or Clementi projects, Parc Esta does not benefit from proximity to top-tier schools, limiting “school-based” exit demand.
- High 2-bedroom supply: The high inventory of 2-bedroom units could weigh on upward pricing momentum if resale demand slows.
- Limited catalysts: Aside from the broader Paya Lebar transformation, there are no near term price catalysts, new launch condo or GLS land sale in the Eunos area that can assist to set new pricing benchmark for Parc Esta.
Park Colonial – Best Resale Condo in Woodleigh
Key Investment Proposition
Park Colonial is a prime beneficiary of the growing upgrader demand in the Woodleigh district, a fast-emerging RCR hub:
- Primary school attraction effect: Located within 1km of Maris Stella Primary School and St Andrew Junior School, a key pull factor for young families looking to get within 1km radius to gain priority entry into these primary schools.
- Upgrader appeal: Many HDB owners from Serangoon, Punggol, and Sengkang aspire to move into this district, providing steady demand for HDB and EC upgrader.
- PR buyer pool: Permanent Residents priced out of more central areas like Queenstown and Redhill view Park Colonial as a viable city-fringe option.
- Leveraging the amenities provided by Woodleigh Residences while being priced at better value.: Its proximity to Woodleigh Residences mall adds convenience while maintaining a pricing advantage of roughly S$100 psf lower than Woodleigh Residences, makes Park Colonial seem like a value buy to resale buyers.
Price Catalysts
No major price catalyst in the area. Relies on closest proxy new launch Chuan Park Residences at Lorong Chuan and Orie in Toa Payoh to set benchmark price for it to price against.
Profitability Metrics
Park Colonial has been particularly strong in the larger unit types, with 3 and 4 bedroom units recording impressive profitability driven by tight supply and high homestay demand.
- 3 and 4 bedroom units: standout performance, averaging nearly S$500k in profit over a relatively short 4–5 year holding period.
- 2 bedroom units: profitable, though better options exist for this segment at developments like Stirling Residences, Parc Clematis, and Parc Esta.
| Bedrooms | Average Profit ($) | Average Annualised Capital Gain (%) | Average Holding Period (Years) |
| 1 | 143,745 | 3.2 | 5.2 |
| 2 | 220,877 | 3.6 | 4.9 |
| 3 | 499,040 | 5.5 | 4.7 |
| 4 | 561,273 | 5.4 | 4.3 |
| 5 | 692,400 | 7.9 | 3.0 |
Ideal Investor Profile
- Family homestay buyers seeking a hybrid of convenience, school proximity, and capital upside.
- Investors may consider 2-bedroom units here, but other projects offer stronger returns for that segment.
Investment Horizon
6 to 7 years (mid-term) – higher entry pricing and the lack of immediate catalysts mean investors should plan for a longer hold to fully capture appreciation.
Risks to Note
- Nearby competition: More affordable resale options in Bartley could attract some buyers away from Park Colonial.
- Premium pricing risk: Buyers may face the risk of entering at already elevated price points, particularly in the larger 3 bedroom units where demand has been strongest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes a condo the “best resale condo” in Singapore?
We define the best resale condo based on measurable investment criteria: proven annualised capital gain of above 4%, development size (400+ units), strong rental yields, liquidity through high sales volume, and unique investment attributes such as proximity to top schools or upcoming catalysts. This ensures buyers focus only on projects with both stability and upside.
Are resale condos better than new launch condos for investment in 2025?
It depends on your objectives. New launches tend to command a premium due to developer pricing, while resale condos allow you to enter at more reasonable psf values with immediate rental or own-stay potential. In 2025, resale condos remain attractive for buyers constrained by budget, timeline, or location needs – especially in established mega-developments with strong demand drivers.
How do I assess profitability of a resale condo?
Profitability can be gauged through historical average profit, annualised capital gain, and holding period data. For example, projects like Parc Clematis and Jadescape have shown strong capital gains across all unit types. Buyers should also evaluate future price catalysts – such as upcoming new launches or neighbourhood transformations – which can set higher resale benchmarks.
What is the ideal holding period for a resale condo investment?
The optimal holding horizon is 4 to 7 years. This timeframe allows investors to ride on upcoming catalysts (like new launches or area redevelopments) while minimising risk of stagnation from newer competing projects.
Do resale condos near good schools always perform better?
Yes, projects within 1km of highly sought-after schools – such as Nan Hua Primary (Parc Clematis) or Catholic High (Jadescape) – often enjoy entrenched demand from parent buyers. This creates a resilient resale base and supports higher capital appreciation over time.
Which resale condo is best for families vs investors?
Families may find Jadescape and Park Colonial particularly attractive, as both developments stand out for their strong profitability in larger, family-sized units and their proximity to reputable schools, which creates entrenched demand. On the other hand, investors seeking rental appeal and quicker capital gains may prefer Parc Esta and Stirling Residences, where smaller 1- to 2-bedroom units have demonstrated consistent profitability and strong tenant demand.
