You probably won't be surprised to hear that 1 bedroom units are usually the first to sell out. To give you examples, recent new launches like Midtown Modern (90% of 1 and 2 bedroom units sold at launch), Irwell Hill Residences sold over 50% of its units (81% of its units are 1 and 2 bedroom), and One-North Eden on the weekend – selling out its 1 and 2 bedroom units by 10am.

Do note:

We restricted our findings to units of 600 sq. ft. or below; units of this size would be considered a one-bedder today. We are looking at size because the term “one-bedder” has changed over time; for old condos there are even 900+ sq. ft. units that are labelled “one-bedders”.

We have also kept to transactions dated 14 January 2011 or later. This is when the Sellers Stamp Duty (SSD) was imposed. Transactions before this date could have been sub-sales (e.g., buying and selling the unit before it’s even completed), which would distort the view of potential returns.

Here are some of our key findings:

- Prime region 1 bedroom units fare the worst for gains
- There’s continued evidence that 1 bedroom units have superior yields
- Returns can get worse over longer holding periods
- Leasehold has generally outperformed freehold
- Smaller 1 bedroom units generally lose more
- Overall, profitable transactions significantly outnumber unprofitable ones
