Date issued : 26 Nov 2013

2This launch brings the total BTO flat supply in 2013 to 25,139 units, in line with HDB’s commitment to launch 25,000 BTO flats for sale this year. Together with the 7,074 balance flats offered under the May and Nov 2013 SBF exercises, as well as an additional 1,355 bonus 2-room flats in the Jul and Sep 2013 BTO exercises, HDB has offered a total of 33,568 flats for sale in 2013 to meet the housing demand of our people.

Advice for Flat Buyers
10Applicants are strongly advised to apply for a BTO flat in non-mature towns/ estates to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat. Though SBF flats have a shorter waiting time to completion, the number of units in each town is small and is likely to attract high application rates.
11Regular updates on the number of applications submitted for the various flat types/towns/estates will be published on the HDB InfoWEB. Applicants are advised to check for updates before submitting their application.
Application for Nov 2013 Sales Exercises
12Applications for new flats launched in the Nov 2013 BTO and SBF Exercises can be submitted online on the HDB InfoWEB from today, 26 Nov 2013 (Tuesday) to 2 Dec 2013 (Monday). Applicants can apply for only one flat type/category in one town/estate under either the BTO or SBF Exercise.
14For enquiries, the public can:
- - Log on to esales.hdb.gov.sg; or - E-mail hdbsales@hdb.gov.sg; or - Visit the HDB Sales Office to speak with our Customer Relations Executives during office hours (Mon to Fri 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 8 am to 1 pm).
