^The assumed housing grants are meant for applicants applying as a family nucleus or two singles under the Joint Singles Scheme for a 2-room Flexi BTO flat. SHG is applicable only to 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats in the non-mature towns. With the SHG enhancement announced at NDR 2015, eligible first-time flat buyers with income up to $8,500 would now enjoy SHG of up to $40,000:
  1. 2-room Flexi flat: $80,000 (comprising AHG of $40,000 and SHG of $40,000 where applicable)
  2. 3-room flat: $70,000 (comprising AHG of $30,000 and SHG of $40,000 where applicable)

  4. 5-room flat / 3Gen flat: $10,000 (AHG only)
The actual grant amounts vary based on income and choice of flat type. Read more on various CPF Housing Grants available.
+Buyers are required to pay 5% of the published price using their own CPF and/ or cash savings when the total housing grants (i.e. AHG and SHG) they can enjoy exceeds 95% of the published price of flat. Excess housing grant, if any, can be used to pay for Optional Component Scheme items and premiums that singles and Singapore citizen/ Singapore permanent resident households have to pay, before crediting the balance into the Singaporean buyers' CPF accounts.
**Singles who apply for the 2-room Flexi flats under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme will pay $15,000 more than married couples. Eligible singles can also apply for AHG and SHG. The additional amount payable and the grants will vary based on the choice of lease tenure. The actual grant amounts will vary according to income. Read more on various CPF Housing Grants available.
Selling prices (excluding and including grants) quoted above are rounded up to the nearest thousand dollars.
