5) @ Singles who apply for the 2-room flats under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme will pay $15,000 more than married couples.
First-timers
First-timers will continue to enjoy priority flat allocation1 . Married/courting couples who wish to live together with their parent(s) can apply for a 3Gen flat at Tampines GreenWeave. Other multi-generation families who wish to live near each other in the same BTO project can apply for flats in Northshore Residences I & II, EastLink I @ Canberra, EastLink II @ Canberra or Tampines GreenWeave under the Multi-Generation Priority Scheme2 (MGPS).
1 At least 85% (for 4-room and 5-room flats) and 70% (for 2-room and 3-room flats) of the BTO public flat supply in the non-mature towns are set aside for first-timers. For flats in the mature town of Clementi and Tampines, at least 95% of the public flat supply will be set aside for FTs.
2 HDB will set aside up to 15% of the SAs, 2-room and 3-room flats in a BTO project (subject to a minimum of 20 units each) for parents applying under MGPS. The same number of 2-room and bigger flats will be set aside in the same BTO project for their married children.
As announced by Minister Khaw Boon Wan during the Committee of Supply 2015 debate, with effect from the May 2015 BTO exercise, up to 50% of the 2-room flats in the non-mature estates in each BTO launch will be set aside for singles, up from 30%. The higher quota will help provide greater assurance to singles and reduce the demand backlog.
May 2015 SBF Exercise
HDB will offer 5,387 balance flats in 11 non-mature and 13 mature towns/estates under the May 2015 SBF exercise. They comprise 227 SAs, 272 units of 2-room, 1,892 units of 3-room, 2,091 units of 4-room, 862 units of 5-room, 32 units of 3Gen and 11 units of executive flats.
Flats offered under the SBF exercise are reserved for families. At least 95% of the supply of balance flats (excluding SAs) will be set aside for first-timers. In addition, 50% of the SAs will be set aside for eligible elderly flat applicants under the Studio Apartment Priority Scheme (SAPS), which enable them to age-in-place in the town of their current home, or near their married children.
SBF flats come in a wide range of flat types, locations and selling prices (see Table 2). About 27% are already completed, while the remaining 73% are under construction. Similar to BTO flats, SBF flats are also priced with a generous subsidy, considerably lower than transacted prices of comparable resale flats in the vicinity.

Advice for Flat Buyers
Applicants are strongly advised to apply for a BTO flat in non-mature towns to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat. Although the 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.
Regular updates on the number of applications submitted for the various flat types/towns will be published on the HDB InfoWEB. Applicants are advised to check for updates before submitting their application.
Applicants who wish to take up an HDB housing loan for their flat purchase need to produce a valid HDB Loan Eligibility (HLE) Letter when they book a flat. Applicants are encouraged to apply for an HLE Letter for early planning. The HLE Letter will indicate the maximum loan that can be offered based on individuals’ financial situation. Applicants may wish to check their loan eligibility and apply for an HLE letter at www.hdb.gov.sg/hleapply.
