In the HDB BTO November 2022 launch, a new batch of flats will be launched in Bukit Batok. The last time a BTO launch occurred in Bukit Batok was February 2021.
The BTO site will be located at the confluence of Bukit Batok West Avenue 2 and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, and will house 790 2-room, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats.
The BTO site enjoys good public transport connectivity (Bukit Gombak MRT located about 10 minutes’ walk away), and Bukit Batok is a relatively established area despite being a non-mature estate. Hence, it is likely to be a popular choice for households looking for an affordable flat.

The site of the HDB BTO November 2022 Bukit Batok launch is bounded by Bukit Batok West Avenue 2 and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5.
Although Bukit Batok is a non-mature estate, it has well-established amenities. In addition, the Bukit Gombak area where the November BTO site is located is filled with greenery and scenic spots, including Little Guilin, Bukit Batok Hillside Park and, a little further away, Bukit Batok Nature Park.
With numerous primary and secondary schools in the area, the HDB BTO site is well-situated for families with kids.
Although the Bukit Batok November BTO project is likely to be fairly affordable due to its location, it still offers good connectivity via Bukit Gombak MRT on the red North South Line (NSL), which connects directly to Orchard and Raffles Place without the need for any line changes. Hence, it offers a good compromise between price and convenience.
The full range of flat types, from 2-room Flexi to 5-room, will be made available at this launch. Thus, it is likely to be popular with a wide range of household sizes, including families with multiple children.
Bukit Batok BTO Price (HDB BTO November 2022 Launch)
| Unit type | Bukit Batok BTO Price (HDB BTO November 2022) | Previous Bukit Batok BTO Price (HDB BTO February 2021) | Previous Bukit Batok BTO Price (HDB BTO August 2017) | Median resale flat prices in the area |
| 2-room Flexi | TBA | $101,000 – $144,000 | $87,000 – $164,000 | – |
| 3-room | TBA | $175,000 – $221,000 | $171,000 – $246,000 | $345,000 |

| 5-room | TBA | $384,000 – $460,000 | $353,000 – $418,000 | $790,000 |
With 790 units up for grabs, the Bukit Batok launch is not a particularly big one. Competition could be fierce due to Bukit Batok being one of the more attractive non-mature estates in the November 2022 launch.
According to HDB’s resale statistics in Q2 2022, the median resale prices in Bukit Batok were $345,000, $495,000 and $790,000 for 3-, 4- and 5-room flats respectively.

These are significantly higher than the indicative prices of past BTO launches, indicating that the November 2022 BTO flats in Bukit Batok stand a good chance of fetching a good price when their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) expires, which is also likely to be the time at which they will command the highest premium in their lifetime.
Budgeting for Your Bukit Batok November 2022 BTO Home Loan
Although the HDB BTO November 2022 Bukit Batok flats are going to be fairly affordable, you should still work out how much you can afford before balloting for one.
| HDB BTO November 2022 Bukit Batok unit type | Price | If you take an HDB loan (at 2.6% p.a., 85% LTV) | If you take a bank loan (at 2.3% p.a., 75% LTV) |
| 2-room Flexi | $140,000 | $21,000 downpayment, estimated $540 monthly mortgage repayments | $35,000 downpayment, estimated $461 monthly mortgage repayments |

We’ve used estimates based on previous BTO launches, but depending on your chosen unit, you might be looking at a different purchase price. CPF housing grants have not been factored into the above prices.
In our calculations, we’ve used an interest rate of 2.6% and an LTV of 85% for HDB loans, and an interest rate of 2.3% and an LTV of 75% for bank loans. All examples are calculated based on a 25-year loan. If you have the means to pay more per month, you can opt for a shorter loan tenure that can be paid off earlier.
If you need a precise estimate, you can use PropertyGuru Finance’s affordability calculator to find out the mortgage repayment amounts based on your loan. If you need advice for your specific situation, you can speak with a PropertyGuru Finance mortgage expert.
