The May 2022 BTO exercise has concluded and now we’re looking ahead to the August 2022 HDB BTO launch! Three of the six estates in the upcoming BTO launch are mature estates, including Bukit Merah, Tampines and Ang Mo Kio.
As the Bukit Merah flats are likely to fall under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, those seeking a city fringe home that is unrestricted by PLH rules will likely look at these August 2022 Ang Mo Kio BTO flats.
The upcoming BTO 2022 Ang Mo Kio launch site is located less than 10 minutes’ walk from Ang Mo Kio MRT station, which connects directly to Raffles Place in the CBD without having to change lines. The good connectivity, as well as the location in a popular mature estate, is likely to make these flats highly sought-after.

The Ang Mo Kio BTO Aug 2022 project is likely to be priced at a premium since Ang Mo Kio is in a city fringe mature estate.
The Ang Mo Kio August 2022 BTO launch consists of 890 2-room Flexi, 4-room, 5-room and 3Gen flats. The availability of larger flat types makes it suitable for bigger or multi-generational households. The availability of schools in the area also makes it suitable for families with multiple children.
This is not a particularly big launch, so these upcoming BTO flats in Ang Mo Kio are likely to be heavily oversubscribed. And unlike the Aug 2022 Bukit Merah HDB BTO launch, the Ang Mo Kio Aug 2022 HDB BTO launch is unlikely to fall under the PLH model, which is likely to boost demand even further.

HDB’s resale statistics for Q1 2022 indicate that the median resale price for 4-room and 5-room flats in Ang Mo Kio was $475,000 and $702,500 respectively. These lower-than-expected prices are likely due to many of the Ang Mo Kio resale flats being older flats.
Future residents of this batch of August 2022 BTO flats can expect attractive capital gains should they choose to sell their property after the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is over.
Budgeting for Your Ang Mo Kio August 2022 BTO Home Loan
The HDB BTO Aug 2022 Ang Mo Kio launch is likely to be priced at a premium, so you should plan your finances and budget for your new home prior to balloting.
Note: for now, we’ve used price estimates of how much we think the upcoming Ang Mo Kio August 2022 HDB BTO flats will cost. On the day of the release, prices and calculations will be updated accordingly.
| HDB BTO August 2022 unit type | Price | If you take an HDB loan (at 2.6%, 85% LTV) | If you take a bank loan (at 1.6% p.a., 75% LTV) |
| 2-room Flexi | $250,000 | $37,500 downpayment, estimated $964 monthly mortgage repayments | $62,500 downpayment, estimated $759 monthly mortgage repayments |

In the above table, we have used estimates based on past HDB BTO launches, but your actual price will depend on the indicative pricing as well as the unit you select. All prices here do not take into account CPF housing grants.
For the purposes of this illustration, we’ve assumed an interest rate of 2.6% and an LTV of 85%, adjusted based on the property cooling measures implemented in Dec 2021. For the bank loan, we’ve gone on the basis of an interest rate of 1.6% and an LTV of 75%.
All of these illustrations are based on a loan tenure of 25 years. If you can afford to pay more per month, you can opt for a shorter loan tenure to pay off your loan faster.
