# 2025 BTO supply - **Source:** Ministry of National Development - **Published:** 2025-01-16T09:00:00.000Z - **Author:** Ministry of National Development - **Original:** https://www.mnd.gov.sg/newsroom/press-releases/view/2025-bto-supply - **Topics:** HDB & Public Housing, New Launches, Transactions & Deals ## Featured rationale The expanded pipeline has coincided with first-timer BTO application rates falling to 2.1 in 2024, potentially improving booking prospects and easing supply-demand pressure. ## AI summary HDB planned over 25,000 flats for 2025, including about 19,600 BTO and more than 5,500 SBF units, taking 2021–2025 BTO supply to 102,300. ## Original article 25,000 new flats will be launched in 2025 Includes about 19,600 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats and more than 5,500 Sale of Balance Flats (SBF). Of the 19,600 BTO flats, 3,800 units are Shorter Waiting Time flats with waiting time of less than three years Including the 2025 supply, HDB will have launched about 102,300 BTO flats, exceeding the target of launching up to 100,000 flats from 2021 to 2025 The largest ever SBF exercise will be conducted in February 2025, with about four in 10 units already completed In an interview given to media earlier this week, Minister Desmond Lee announced that HDB will launch over 25,000 new flats in 2025. This includes about 19,600 BTO flats across three sales exercises and more than 5,500 SBF flats in one SBF sale exercise. Home buyers can look forward to a good mix of Standard, Plus and Prime BTO flats under the new flat classification framework in various locations such as Kallang/Whampoa, Bukit Merah, Queenstown, Mount Pleasant, Woodlands, Yishun and Sembawang. Over the last four years, HDB has ramped up the supply of BTO flats to meet the increased housing demand in recent years. From 2021 to 2024, we launched about 82,700 flats. Minister Desmond Lee said, “To address demand-supply imbalance arising from COVID-19 disruptions, we have ramped up supply in recent years. With the planned offer of another 19,600 BTO flats in 2025, we are on track to launch about 102,300 BTO flats from 2021 to 2025, exceeding our commitment to launch 100,000 new flats over the 5-year period.” Year Flats Launched* 2021 17,100 2022 23,200 2023 22,800 2024 19,600 2025 19,600 (planned) Total 102,300 *Rounded to the nearest hundred With the ramp-up in BTO supply, the application rates for BTO flats have reduced. As a result, flat applicants now stand a higher chance of being invited to book a flat. In 2024, the average application rate for first-timer home buyers across all flat types (excluding Community Care Apartments) was 2.1, well below the pre-pandemic rate of 3.7 in 2019. For 3-room and larger flats, the average first-timer application rate was 2.2, similarly down from 4.0 in 2019. Minister assured that HDB will continue to put out a steady pipeline of flats to meet housing demand in the next few years, and will launch more than 50,000 flats between 2025 (inclusive) – 2027, with a total of about 130,000 flats from 2021 to 2027. About 3,800 Shorter Waiting Time Flats on Offer in 2025 Of the 19,600 new flats slated for launch in 2025, 3,800 flats (almost one-fifth of the 2025 flat supply) will be Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) flats with wait times of less than three years. This is a significant increase from the 2,876 SWT flats offered in 2024, and more than our committed annual supply of 2,000 to 3,000 SWT flats. HDB will continue to roll out more SWT flats each year wherever possible, and work towards reducing the waiting time of the other BTO flats, to support first-timer flat buyers in setting up their first homes. Helping Young Families Secure Their Flats Sooner First-Timer (Parents & Married Couples) Category From the October 2023 BTO exercise, HDB has introduced the First-Timer (Parents & Married Couples)[1] or FT(PMC) priority category, to provide additional support for a subset of first-timers who may have more pressing housing needs. Under the FT(PMC) priority category, married couples as well as families with young children receive one additional ballot chance for their BTO/Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) flat applications, on top of the two ballot chances that other first-timer families receive. This means that they will receive a total of three ballot chances when they apply for any flat type in any estate. They also receive first priority under the Family and Parenthood Priority Scheme (FPPS), when they apply for a 4-room and smaller Standard BTO flat. Up to 40% of the BTO flat supply, and up to 60% of the SBF flat supply, is set aside for FPPS. With first priority under FPPS, Minister updated that about nine in 10 first-timer parents and married couples, on average, who applied for a 4-room and smaller flat in the non-mature estates were invited to book a flat in the BTO sales exercises where flat booking has been completed[2]. We will continue to monitor, but we expect first-timer parents and married couples who apply for a 4-room and smaller Standard BTO flat in upcoming sales exercises to continue to have a high chance of booking a flat. Decline in non-selection rate To ensure more efficient allocation of flats, the rules for non-selection of new HDB flats were tightened from the October 2023 BTO exercise[3]. Minister shared that, since then, the proportion of BTO flat applicants who did not book a flat when invited has halved – from 40% previously to about 19% over the three BTO launches where the booking exercises have been completed. This has enabled flat buyers to secure their flats more quickly. Flat applicants are encouraged to book a flat when given a chance to do so and avoid incurring a non-selection count[4]. With the lower non-selection rate, almost all flats are now booked by applicants within the first 200% of the flat supply. “From the Feb 2025 sales exercise onwards, HDB will shortlist applicants up to 200% of the total flat supply, instead of up to 300%[5]. This change will improve system efficiency, enabling HDB to serve shortlisted applicants faster,” explained Minister. Flat applicants without a queue number can also make housing arrangements earlier or proceed to apply for the next BTO/SBF sales exercise without having to wait for a flat booking appointment. Upcoming Sales Exercise in February 2025 In February 2025, HDB will offer about 5,000 BTO flats in Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Woodlands and Yishun. At the same time, HDB will hold the largest-ever SBF exercise, offering more than 5,500 flats across various towns/estates[6]. About four in 10 of the flats to be offered in the SBF exercise are completed units, while the remaining units are in various stages of construction with expected completion dates from 2025 to 2028. In total, more than 10,000 new flats will be offered under the BTO and SBF exercises in February 2025. The details of the BTO and SBF flats will be shared at the February 2025 sales exercise. HDB is committed to providing affordable and accessible housing options to buyers, and will continue to monitor the housing demand closely, making adjustments where necessary. Issued by: Ministry of National Development and Housing & Development Board Date: 16 January 2025 [1] To qualify under the FT(PMC) category, applicants must be: (a) Families with at least one Singapore Citizen child aged 18 and below, or married couples aged 40 and below; and (b) Have never owned or sold a residential property before; and (c) Have not had a chance to book a BTO/SBF flat in the past five years prior to their flat application. [2] Flat booking exercises have completed for Oct 2023, Dec 2023, and Feb 2024 sales exercises. [3] Under the current non-selection rules, first-timers, including those under FT(PMC) category, who accumulate one non-selection count (lowered from the two counts previously) will be considered second-timers for a year in the computer ballot. Second-timers who accumulate one non-selection count (lowered from the two counts previously) will have to wait one year before they can apply for a flat again. [4] HDB will waive the non-selection count for applicants with 10 or fewer BTO flats or five or fewer SBF flats to choose from. [5] Flats that are not booked will be re-offered in subsequent sales exercises. [6] The new flat classification framework will not apply to existing HDB flats and non-Prime Location Public Housing flats launched before the October 2024 BTO exercise, when these units are re-offered for sale in SBF exercises. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 2025 年预购组屋（BTO）供应 2025 年将推出 25,000 个新单位 包括约 19,600 个预购组屋（BTO）单位，以及超过 5,500 个剩余组屋（Sale of Balance Flats，SBF）。在 19,600 个预购组屋单位中，有 3,800 个为较短等候时间单位，等候时间少于三年 计入 2025 年供应后，建屋发展局（HDB）将累计推出约 102,300 个预购组屋单位，超过 2021 年至 2025 年推出多达 100,000 个单位的目标 有史以来规模最大的剩余组屋销售将于 2025 年 2 月举行，其中约四成单位已经竣工 国家发展部长李智陞在本周早前接受媒体访问时宣布，建屋发展局将于 2025 年推出超过 25,000 个新单位。其中包括在三次销售中推出的约 19,600 个预购组屋单位，以及在一次剩余组屋销售中推出的超过 5,500 个剩余组屋单位。在新的组屋分类框架下，购房者可期待在加冷／黄埔、红山、女皇镇、蒙巴登宜人区（Mount Pleasant）、兀兰、义顺及三巴旺等地段，获得标准（Standard）、附加（Plus）与黄金地段（Prime）预购组屋的良好组合。 过去四年，建屋发展局已加大预购组屋供应，以满足近年来上升的住房需求。2021 年至 2024 年，我们共推出约 82,700 个单位。李智陞部长表示：「为应对新冠疫情干扰所造成的供求失衡，我们近年来已加大供应。随着 2025 年计划再推出 19,600 个预购组屋单位，我们有望在 2021 年至 2025 年期间共推出约 102,300 个预购组屋单位，超过我们在五年期内推出 100,000 个新单位的承诺。」 年份 推出单位数* 2021 17,100 2022 23,200 2023 22,800 2024 19,600 2025 19,600（计划） 合计 102,300 *四舍五入至最接近的百位 随着预购组屋供应增加，申请率有所下降。因此，申请者现在获邀选购单位的机会更高。2024 年，首次购房者各类组屋（不包括社区护理公寓）的平均申请率为 2.1，远低于疫情前 2019 年的 3.7。就三房式及以上单位而言，首次购房者平均申请率为 2.2，同样低于 2019 年的 4.0。 部长保证，建屋发展局将继续提供稳定的单位供应管道，以满足未来数年的住房需求，并将在 2025 年（含）至 2027 年期间推出超过 50,000 个单位，2021 年至 2027 年合计约 130,000 个单位。 2025 年约有 3,800 个较短等候时间单位供申请 在 2025 年计划推出的 19,600 个新单位中，有 3,800 个单位（约占 2025 年单位供应的五分之一）为较短等候时间（Shorter Waiting Time，SWT）单位，等候时间少于三年。这较 2024 年提供的 2,876 个较短等候时间单位显著增加，并超过我们每年承诺供应 2,000 至 3,000 个较短等候时间单位的目标。 建屋发展局将在可行情况下继续每年推出更多较短等候时间单位，并致力于缩短其他预购组屋的等候时间，以支援首次购房者建立首个家园。 协助年轻家庭更早获得组屋 首次购房者（父母与已婚夫妇）类别 自 2023 年 10 月预购组屋销售起，建屋发展局推出首次购房者（父母与已婚夫妇）[1]（First-Timer (Parents & Married Couples)，简称 FT(PMC)）优先类别，为可能有更迫切住房需求的部分首次购房者提供额外支援。在 FT(PMC) 优先类别下，已婚夫妇以及有年幼子女的家庭，在申请预购组屋／剩余组屋时，可在其他首次购房家庭所获两次抽签机会之外，再获一次额外抽签机会。这意味着他们申请任何市镇的任何户型时，合共可获三次抽签机会。当他们申请四房式及以下的标准预购组屋时，亦在家庭与育儿优先计划（Family and Parenthood Priority Scheme，FPPS）下获得第一优先。预购组屋供应中最多 40%、剩余组屋供应中最多 60% 预留给 FPPS。 部长更新称，凭借 FPPS 下的第一优先，平均约九成申请非成熟市镇四房式及以下单位的首次购房父母与已婚夫妇，在已完成选购程序的预购组屋销售中获邀选购单位[2]。我们将继续监察，但预期在即将举行的销售中，申请四房式及以下标准预购组屋的首次购房父母与已婚夫妇，将继续有较高机会选购单位。 未选购比率下降 为确保组屋分配更有效率，自 2023 年 10 月预购组屋销售起收紧了未选购新组屋的规定[3]。部长表示，自那时起，获邀后未选购预购组屋的申请者比例已减半——由以往的 40% 降至约 19%（以已完成选购程序的三次预购组屋发售计算）。这使购房者能更快锁定单位。鼓励申请者在获机会时选购单位，避免产生未选购计数[4]。 随着未选购比率降低，几乎所有单位现均在单位供应量的首 200% 申请人范围内被选购。「自 2025 年 2 月销售起，建屋发展局将把入围申请者名单缩短至总单位供应量的 200%，而非最高 300%[5]。此项调整将提升系统效率，使建屋发展局能更快服务入围申请者，」部长解释。没有轮候编号的申请者亦可更早安排住房，或直接申请下一次预购组屋／剩余组屋销售，而无需等待选购预约。 2025 年 2 月即将举行的销售 2025 年 2 月，建屋发展局将在加冷／黄埔、女皇镇、兀兰及义顺推出约 5,000 个预购组屋单位。与此同时，建屋发展局将举行有史以来规模最大的剩余组屋销售，在各市镇／组屋区提供超过 5,500 个单位[6]。剩余组屋销售中约四成单位为已竣工单位，其余单位处于不同施工阶段，预计竣工日期介乎 2025 年至 2028 年。合计，2025 年 2 月预购组屋与剩余组屋销售将提供超过 10,000 个新单位。预购组屋与剩余组屋的详情将于 2025 年 2 月销售时公布。 建屋发展局致力于为购房者提供可负担且可及的住房选择，并将继续密切监察住房需求，必要时作出调整。 发布单位：国家发展部与建屋发展局 日期：2025 年 1 月 16 日 [1] 要符合 FT(PMC) 类别资格，申请者必须： (a) 家庭中至少有一名 18 岁及以下的新加坡公民子女，或夫妇双方年龄均在 40 岁及以下；以及 (b) 从未拥有或出售过住宅物业；以及 (c) 在提出组屋申请前的过去五年内，未曾获得选购预购组屋／剩余组屋的机会。 [2] 2023 年 10 月、2023 年 12 月及 2024 年 2 月销售的选购程序已完成。 [3] 根据现行未选购规定，首次购房者（包括 FT(PMC) 类别）累计一次未选购计数（由以往的两次降低）后，在电脑抽签中将被视作第二购房者一年。第二购房者累计一次未选购计数（由以往的两次降低）后，须等待一年方可再次申请组屋。 [4] 若申请者可选的预购组屋单位为 10 个或以下，或可选的剩余组屋单位为 5 个或以下，建屋发展局将豁免未选购计数。 [5] 未被选购的单位将在随后的销售中重新推出。 [6] 新的组屋分类框架不适用于现有组屋单位，以及在 2024 年 10 月预购组屋销售前推出、并非黄金地段公共住房（Prime Location Public Housing）的单位；这些单位若在剩余组屋销售中重新推出，亦不适用该框架。
