You must have a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter before you can apply for a flat in our sales launches. The HFE letter will provide you with a holistic understanding of your housing and financing options before you embark on your home buying journey. It will inform you upfront of your eligibility to purchase a new or resale flat, as well as the amount of CPF housing grants and HDB housing loan you are eligible for.
You may refer to the HDB Flat Portal on the upcoming BTO exercise and inject of flat supply for open booking. A SBF exercise is launched on an ad-hoc basis when there are sufficient balance flats to be offered for sale.
You may subscribe to our HDB eAlert Service to receive notifications on our upcoming sales launches.
Other than having a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter, you do not have to submit any documents when submitting a flat application.
We will inform you of any documents required, if you are shortlisted in the computer ballot and invited to book a flat.
You must cancel your existing flat application and submit a new application before the application period closes. A non-refundable administrative fee of $10 is payable for the new application.
After the application period has closed, no changes are allowed.
No. You can only submit 1 application for a particular town and flat type in a sales launch. If there is a sales launch comprising a BTO exercise and an SBF exercise, you can either apply for the BTO exercise or the SBF exercise, and not both exercises.
You may apply for a flat in another sales exercise as long as you have not been balloted within the flat supply in your earlier flat application(s) submitted from the October 2023 sales exercise and have not booked a flat. Once you have booked a flat, all your other flat applications will be automatically cancelled.
We strongly encourage applicants to book a flat at the first available opportunity. Those who do not do so may lose their first-timer benefits and/or be restricted from applying in future sales launches.
The budget is based on your available funds to pay for the flat purchase, namely:

If you are a second timer, i.e., you have enjoyed any housing subsidy before, you must pay a resale levy to purchase a flat from HDB. Read more on resale levy.
However, if you are buying a resale flat on the open market, you do not need to pay the resale levy.
You will receive an email notification to log in to the HDB Flat Portal to check the ballot results, within 2 months after the application period has closed. The wait time may vary depending on the sales launch and flat supply.
