Below we rank the year's strongest and weakest performers, then spotlight the single biggest cash-in and cash-out deals of the year.
Most profitable condos of 2025
Ranked by median annualised return across every matched resale that closed in 2025. Only condos with at least 5 matched pairs in the year appear, so a single lucky flip cannot top the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which condo made the most money in 2025?
The "most profitable" table ranks condos by the median annualised return of their 2025 resales, while the Cash-or-Crash spotlight names the single biggest dollar gain of the year. Rankings require at least 5 matched resale pairs so they reflect a pattern, not one lucky sale.
What does a negative return in the "least profitable" table mean?
It means the median resale of that condo in 2025 sold below its matched purchase price — the owner realised a capital loss before even counting stamp duty and financing. Weak percentage returns cluster in projects bought near a market peak.
Are these net profits after stamp duty and financing?
No. Every figure is computed on raw URA caveat prices only. Real net returns are lower after buyer's and seller's stamp duty, mortgage interest, agent fees and renovation. Use the ranking to compare relative performance, not as a take-home figure.
How current is this Core Central Region (CCR) ranking?
It covers matched resales that closed during the 2025 calendar year, drawn from URA private-transaction caveats. Because it is time-boxed to a completed year, the edition is stable and will not shift as newer caveats arrive.
Methodology & Sources
Numbers in this article reflect resales closing in 2025 and update annually.
Transaction data sourced from URA.
- Matched buy→sell pairs are inferred from URA resale caveats by grouping transactions on a (floor band, floor area, bedroom count) proxy — caveats carry no unit or stack identifier.
- Annualised return is the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between a paired purchase and resale; pairs held under 6 months or over 30 years are excluded.
- A condo needs at least 5 matched pairs whose resale closed in 2025 to be ranked. Figures are raw-price estimates before stamp duty, financing and renovation.
- The Cash-or-Crash spotlight shows individual matched deals; grouped landed caveats are excluded.
Outlier-resistant medians anchor every PSF figure shown above. Volume counts are exact transaction tallies, not estimates.
