The Queenstown HDB BTO December 2023 flats occupy a very well-connected location in the area next to Dover MRT station. The site is located in a well-connected mature estate with a good selection of amenities and schools. It is thus likely to enjoy high demand amongst buyers.
However, it should be noted that the Queenstown BTO project might fall under the PLH model.
With about 890 units of 3-room and 4-room BTO flats, interest is likely to come mostly from smaller households or families with only one or two children.
HDB’s resale statistics for Q3 2023 indicate that the median resale price for 3-room and 4-room HDB flats was $389,400 and $938,000, respectively. These HDB resale prices look low because many of the recorded transactions featured older flats, but newer flats in the Queenstown area tend to command a premium. That said, the effects of the PLH model on resale prices have not yet been seen.

The above prices have been listed without including CPF Housing Grants. However, the price of your Ulu Pandan Vista Queenstown Dec 2023 BTO flat will depend on the indicative pricing of this launch as well as the unit selected.
We have used an interest rate of 2.6% and a Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit of 80% for the HDB loan example calculations and an interest rate of 3.6% and an LTV of 75% for the bank loan example calculations. The above examples go based on a 25-year loan. However, if you can make higher monthly repayments, you may want to opt for a shorter loan (and pay lesser interest!).
