While it&#8217;s often the prime, high-end condos that hit the news headlines because of sky-high transactions, much more actual attention is turned towards the non-prime, non-central properties as they are within the budget of most condo buyers, or are viewed as attainable within a foreseeable timeframe as an investment property or an upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Non-prime condos in the limelight<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ura.gov.sg\/Corporate\/Media-Room\/Media-Releases\/pr18-40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2Q 2018 price index flash estimates<\/a> from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the prices of non-landed private residential properties in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) district rose the highest that quarter \u2014 a 5.7% increase \u2014 compared to prices in the Core Central Region (CCR; 1.4% increase) and Outside Central Region (OCR; 2.9% increase). Many non-prime condos that capture the attention of property watchers is located in the RCR, also commonly called the city fringe.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, when it comes to property, there&#8217;s plenty of variety and plenty of gems to be found in non-prime, non-central districts, in particular the RCR. <strong>We dive into our data and present five such condos that have recorded the highest transactions in 2Q 2018, in ascending order.<\/strong> You might not have heard of some of these names, but chances are you&#8217;ll be putting these condos on your to-view list once you&#8217;re finished with this article.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5th place: The Sovereign<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/non-prime-condos-the-sovereign.jpg\" alt=\"non-prime condos the sovereign\" width=\"589\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">District: 15<br \/>\nTOP year: 1993<br \/>\n<\/span>Tenure: Freehold<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top transaction in 2Q 2018: $5,000,000<\/strong> (for a 5th floor, 2,637 sq ft unit)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to our records, this particular 5th storey, 4-bedroom unit at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/the-sovereign\/?utm_source=blog%20to%20portal%20condo%20project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sovereign<\/a> has been resold four times.
