Some basic BTO facts you need to know
- There will be a total of 19,600 new BTO flats to be launched in 2024. They will be released in 3 batches: February, June, and October.
- The actual BTO projects are announced 3 months before the launch, so you’ll have ample time to plan and decide which town and flat type you’ll go for.
- To book a BTO flat, you will need to ballot for your choice unit. The balloting outcome will be released after about 2 months.
- If your ballot is successful, you’ll get a queue number, which will determine the order in which you can book a flat.
- If you have not been invited to book a flat — not shortlisted for booking or all available flats have been taken up before your queue number is due — your application is considered unsuccessful.
- When applying for non-mature estates, first-timer families/ couples get additional chances to apply again if the first 2 applications for non-mature BTOs were unsuccessful.
- As per the Budget 2023, families with children and married couples aged 40 and below will get an extra ballot for their BTO application to combat the longer waiting time for the completion of newer flats.
Would you rather buy a resale HDB flat?
Here are several factors you need to consider before making a decision.
For 1st time buyers
- Have you applied for the HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter?
- Are you and your partner eligible for the HDB Fiancé/Fiancée Scheme?
- What CPF housing grant can you apply for?
For HDB owners
- If you have an existing HDB flat, is it a good time to sell now?
- What’s the current agent fee you can expect to pay?
- Make sure to follow this full step-by-step guide to sell your HDB.
For condo owners
- If you have an existing condo, you need to wait 15 months before can buy a HDB flat.
- If you’ve completed the 15-month waiting period, here’s the correct way to sell your condo.
- Make sure you sell it after 3 years if you don’t want to pay for the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD). (You could be exempted, too.)
Overview of BTO October 2024 launches
- Approximately 8,500 flats will be offered across various towns, including Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Geylang, Jurong West, Kallang/Whampoa, Pasir Ris, Sengkang, and Woodlands.
- Of the 8,500 new flats to be launched for sale in October, 260 will be Community Care Apartments in Geylang.
- The Kallang/Whampoa project will pilot the White Flat layout, featuring 310 units of 3-room and 4-room flats. Buyers can choose between this open-concept layout or standard layouts with walls. Prices will reflect the absence of internal walls.
- Cooling Measures Impact: With the latest cooling measures introduced in August 2024, you will need to be aware of the reduction in the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit for HDB loans from 80% to 75%. This means that, for example, if you’re buying a 4-room flat priced at $400,000, your required down payment has increased from $80,000 to $100,000.
- Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG): To help offset the impact of the lower LTV limit, the government has increased the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG). The maximum EHG for families has been raised from $80,000 to $120,000, and for singles, from $40,000 to $60,000. These revised grant amounts will apply to eligible buyers in the October 2024 BTO exercise.
- If you are participating in the October 2024 BTO sales exercise, you must submit all required documents, including a valid HFE letter, by 15 September 2024.

Pros and Cons of each BTO Feb 2024 project
BTO Feb 2024 Project | Pros | Cons |
Bedok South Bloom Bedok | Close to amenities like Marketplace @ 58 and Bedok Green Primary School; Bedok MRT station is accessible via a short bus ride. | Proximity to primary school may mean more noise and traffic during peak hours. |
Bedok North Springs Bedok | Near the PIE for easy transportation; potential views of Bedok Reservoir; close to Yu Neng Primary School. | The proximity to the PIE might result in noise pollution; views may be affected by future developments. |
Rail Garden @ CCK Choa Chu Kang | Near the Rail Corridor and Pang Sua River, appealing to nature lovers. | Accessibility is not as convenient compared to other sites; amenities are further away in the Senja HDB enclave. |
Woodgrove Edge Woodlands | Offers a larger number of units; low-density surroundings and potential views of Mandai. | Not heavy on amenities; may not be as appealing to those who prioritize convenience. |
Tanjong Tree Residences @ Hougang Upper Paya Lebar (Hougang) | Proximity to Serangoon and Tai Seng industrial park could be beneficial for those working in the area. | Close to Paya Lebar Airbase, which may be subject to noise; the area is quieter and may not have as many amenities. |
Matilda Riverside Punggol | Offers waterfront views of Punggol Reservoir; part of a developing area. | Limited accessibility and fewer immediate amenities compared to more mature estates. |
Tanglin Halt Courtyard Queenstown | Integrated development next to Commonwealth MRT station; close to Buona Vista, Holland Village, and One-North. | High demand for this prime location may make balloting competitive. |
