HDB launches 3,995 new flats in first BTO exercise this year


SINGAPORE - The Housing Development Board (HDB) on Wednesday launched 3,995 new flats for sale under the February 2015 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise.
These flats are spread across five projects located in the non-mature towns of Bukit Batok and Hougang, and the mature town of Geylang.
This is the first batch of the 16,900 BTO flats that HDB has planned for 2015, HDB said in a release on Wednesday.
To better help flat buyers plan their finances and flat purchase, from this sales exercise onwards, flat applicants who intend to take out an HDB housing loan will also need to produce a valid HDB Loan Eligibility (HLE) letter at the point of booking a flat, HDB said.
Previously, they only needed to produce the HLE letter when they sign the Agreement for Lease, which is four months after booking a flat.
The latest batch of BTO flats comprise Studio Apartments (SAs), 2-room to 5-room flats, as well as Three-Generation(3Gen) flats, to meet the diverse housing needs of first-timers, second-timers, multi-generation families, elderly and singles.
 
another reminder from hDB, all sites are out of place, please ride a horse to your nearest mrt station.

Not being near MRT stations is no big deal. The PAP was against the MRT station in the first place. Only Ong Teng Cheong was for it. Everyone got to their work places by bus.

The problem was that after the MRT came about, most buses were cut or amended to go to MRT stations. That is why omnibus routes that travel outside popular routes are always overcrowded despite travelling outside popular routes. Remember 190.

Exactly, and this is why a region with a LRT network always gets some of its existing bus services terminated. Go ask the Bukit Panjang residents.

Left pocket to right pocket, there is no free lunch etc.

51% of singles unable to choose new two-room flat

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/51-singles-unable-choose-two-room-flat-075704928--sector.html

About 18,300 singles had applied to buy two-room Build-to-Order (BTO) flats since July 2013, and about 9,000 of them were able to select a flat.
The Ministry of National Development said in Parliament today, The remaining 9,300 did not have a chance to select a flat. Some may have gone on with other housing plans. Many will try again at upcoming BTO launches.
As the scheme to allow singles to buy two-room BTO flats is relatively new, the government said some pent-up demand is expected.
HDB has ramped up the supply from 2,600 units in 2013 to about 5,000 units in 2014. Singles application rates have accordingly fallen, from a high of 58 applicants to 1 flat in July 2013, to 13 to 1 flat in November 2014. We will continue to help applicants to secure their flat faster, MND added.
Under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme, and Joint Singles Scheme, applicants must be at least 35 years old to buy a two-room flat in non-mature estates under the BTO exercise.
Responding to another query, HDB revealed there are currently about 10,000 balance flats, and 3,000 of these units are in the mature estates.
Around 4,000 units are three-room and smaller flats.
We plan to release them in two batches of about 5,000 units each. This will offer more choices of flat types in various locations and give applicants a better chance of success, for each exercise. Nonetheless, we will review and fine-tune the marketing plan to see how best to complement the BTO exercises and support a stable housing market, MND said.
