The Housing & Development Board (HDB) Build-To-Order (BTO) scheme in Singapore has long been a crucial pathway for many in securing affordable housing. Occurring four times a year, these BTO exercises draw significant attention, as hopeful applicants vie for a limited number of flats. These BTO flats are highly sought after due to their comparatively lower prices than the current.
For those who've been used to the timely launches, it might seem a little strange (or surprising) to see an October BTO launch. This time, HDB has launched 6,800 BTO flats across four key areas: Choa Chu Kang, Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, and Tengah. The best part? About 75 per cent of these homes are expected to be ready in four years.
These days, getting a queue number for an HDB BTO or SBF flat is like winning a 4D or Toto. Chances of getting one to book a flat are slim. Nevertheless, there are ways to increase your chances, one of which is to look at the HDB priority schemes. As they say, the devil's in the details. In this lengthy.
Planning to live in the city fringe? In the upcoming August 2023 HDB BTO exercise, you have four options to choose from. One is located in Queenstown, while the other three are in Kallang/ Whampoa. Two of the August 2023 Kallang/Whampoa BTO are within the Balestier subzone, while one is located in the Kampong Bugis subzone. In total, Kallang/ Whampoa.
