Monthly income ceiling for families for 2-room flats hiked to $5,000

Versus previous ceiling of $2,000.

According to a release, with effect from this BTO launch, the monthly household income ceiling for families for 2-room flats in non-mature estates will be increased from $2,000 to $5,000, to give more families the option to buy such flats. 

With effect from today, the Government will also extend the AHG to singles buying a resale flat in the open market. 

The AHG will be up to $20,000 for those who apply under the SSC and up to $40,000 for those who apply under the JSS. These will be on top of the CPF Housing Grant ($15,000 under SSC and $30,000 under JSS), that they would already be getting.

The extensions of AHG and SHG are intended to provide even more help to singles to buy their first flat.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
