The October 2024 BTO sales launch is set to become a landmark. 8,573 BTO flats will be offered across a record 15 projects on offer – spanning Ang Mo Kio, Bedok (3), Bukit Batok, Geylang, Jurong West, Kallang/Whampoa (3), Pasir Ris, Sengkang (2), and Woodlands.
This BTO sales launch also introduces HDB’s new Flat Classification Framework, labelling projects as Standard, Plus, or Prime based on location, transport links, and amenities — and replacing the old Mature and Non-Mature system.
Ushering in another milestone, singles will be able to apply for 2-room Flexi flats in all project classification across all locations, with nearly 2,000 such units available.
There will also be a pilot for White Flats, which come with an open concept without internal partition walls between the living room and bedrooms in the Crawford Heights BTO at Kallang/Whampoa. The prices for these White flats will be $6,000 and $8,600 lower for 3-room and 4-room flats respectively, as they will not have internal partition walls and some electrical points. Buyers can still opt for the default layout (i.e. with the partition walls).
However, if you’re planning to apply for a BTO flat during the October 2024 BTO sales launch, you must already have a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter, which takes about a month to process. HDB is currently processing the HFE applications received before 16 September 2024 – which means you cannot apply for a flat if you did not submit one by then.
