HDB launches over 5000 flats under Feb 2024 BTO and SBF exercises

Over 80% of BTO flats launching will have a waiting time of under 3.5 years.

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) launched 5,714 flats under its February 2024 Build-To-Order (BTO) and Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercises.

Of the total, HDB will offer 4,126 BTO flats across seven new BTO projects in different estates.

Five out of the seven BTO projects, or over 80% of the BTO flats launched, will have a waiting time of under 3.5 years.

The seven BTO projects offered in the Feb 2024 exercise are in Bedok, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Punggol, Queenstown, and Woodlands.

HDB will offer flats ranging from 2-room to 5-room “to meet diverse housing needs and budgets.”

“All new flats are priced with significant market discounts to ensure affordability, and hence selling prices are considerably lower than the transacted prices of comparable resale flats,” HDB said.

The remaining 1,588 flats launched for sale were SBF units which are located across various towns and estates.

The February exercise marks the first of three BTO launches in 2024. In total, HDB will launch 19,600 new flats this year.

To give home buyers ample time to decide, HDB has extended the seven-day application window to eight.

Meanwhile, HDB also announced that eligible first-timer families can benefit from the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) of up to $80,000.

“With the EHG, flat buyers may buy a 3-room flat at $127,000 or a 4-room flat at $240,000 in the non-mature estate of Choa Chu Kang, and service their monthly mortgage payments using their CPF monthly contributions, with no cash payments,” HDB said.

“In the mature estate of Bedok, the prices after grants start from $406,000 for a 4-room flat,” HDB added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
