BTO exercise comes four times a year, and each quarter, the news reports about the hordes of hopefuls who cross their fingers and hope to be allocated a new flat from HDB. HDB BTO application rates can go over 10 times, especially for popular unit types (e.g. 4-room and 5-room BTO flats). After all, HDB BTO prices are considered a steal compared to the high HDB resale prices now on the market.
For instance, the recent Serangoon North Vista May 2023 BTO project saw application rates at 9.1 for 4-room BTO flats and 13.3 for 5-room BTO flats, respectively. We are expecting a high number of BTO applicants too for the upcoming August 2023 BTO launch, with flats at convenient locations such as Kallang/Whampoa and Queenstown.
Thinking about applying for an upcoming August 2023 BTO project, and want a quick guide on applying for a BTO flat? Watch our video guide below.
Apply For a BTO Flat: BTO Application Overview
PS: From the upcoming August 2023 BTO launch onwards, you’ll need to obtain a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter before applying for a BTO project. The HFE letter will help you assess your BTO flat, CPF Housing Grant, and HDB loan eligibilities in one step on the HDB Flat Portal.
Do try to apply for the HFE letter in advance, as the HDB Flat Portal may take longer than its usual 21 working days to process your request.
Before you plan to ask your partner “BTO aimai?” and apply for any upcoming BTO or Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) launches, you’ll also want to do some research to maximise your chances before taking the plunge.
And what better way to do that than by studying past HDB BTO prices and trends? Read on for the list of past HDB BTO flat prices, from 2019 to May 2023, for 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, and 5-room flats.

Bukit Merah is highly sought-after due to its location on the edge of the city core, but BTO launches in the area are scarce. Thus, it is no surprise that the Aug 2022 launch of Havelock Hillside saw prices for 3-room flats hovering at around the $500,000 mark. Plus, the proximity to the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront project makes launches in this area even more desirable.

HDB BTO Prices in District 7 (Rochor)
| BTO project | River Peaks I & II (Central – Rochor) |
| BTO launch | Nov 2021 |

| 4-room BTO price | $582,000 to $688,000 |
| 5-room BTO price | – |
The first BTO launched under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model is the River Peaks I & II in Rochor. Under the PLH Model, these prime-location flats will face a longer Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 10 years and tighter rental conditions, and owners selling the flat will have to fork out a clawback subsidy of 6% of the resale price or HDB flat’s valuation, whichever is higher, to HDB when they do sell their HDB flat.
These new measures were designed to prevent excessive windfall gains (to curb the ‘lottery effect’) and keep public housing affordable, no matter the location.
Rochor is located within the Central Area of the Central Region of Singapore, sharing boundaries with Kallang, Newton, and Downtown Core. It is a walk away from Little India and Bugis, offering residents a plethora of amenities and eateries.

Tengah in the northwest of Singapore is currently undergoing extensive development, hence the high number of BTO launches in the last few years. It is one of the most affordable estates to buy a BTO flat in, although residents must contend with extensive construction for many years after moving in.
The Tengah August 2023 BTO launch will see about 1,010 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, and 5-room BTO flats.

Singapore’s northernmost district comprises sleepy neighbourhoods, Sembawang, Yishun and Admiralty. Their distance from the city centre is what makes launch prices relatively affordable.
The draw for many who apply for a BTO flat at Yishun and Sembawang is the tranquillity of the neighbourhoods. Being situated away from the bustle of the city and having various reservoirs, green spaces, and even a hot spring garden, make the areas attractive places to live in.
Compared to Yishun, Sembawang is a peaceful non-mature estate that is currently undergoing development, with plans for a new mall and sports hub in the works.

Applying for a BTO Flat From the Upcoming August 2023 BTO Launch Onwards
Besides needing to obtain the HFE letter when applying for an upcoming August 2023 BTO project, there are some changes to the BTO application process you need to take note of.
1. If You Reject Your BTO Ballot
First-timer BTO applicants who reject their BTO ballots will be considered second-timer applicants for a year. In their second BTO application, if they reject another BTO ballot, they won’t be able to apply for a BTO flat in the following year.
2. New HDB Priority Scheme for First-timer Parents and Married Couples
The Family and Parenthood Priority Scheme (FPPS) will officially replace the Parenthood Priority Scheme (PPS). This change will include a new applicant priority subset, the First-timer (Parents and Married Couples) category, also known as FT(PMC). Up to 40% of BTO flats will be reserved for eligible FT(PMC) applicants. Eligible FT(PMC) applicants must meet these criteria:
- Be in a family with at least one Singapore Citizen child who is 18 years old and below, or married couples below 40 years old
- Have never owned or sold a residential property
- Have not booked a BTO or SBF unit in the past five years before their HDB flat application
3. Additional BTO Ballot Chances for Unsuccessful FT(PMC) Applicants
To help FT(PMC) applicants who failed to secure a BTO ballot after multiple applications to a non-mature estate, they will also get one additional chance per subsequent application.
