BTO Launch Schedule 2026: The November Exercise, Every Recent Project and What Comes Next
HDB's next BTO exercise is in November 2026, not October: about 7,960 flats in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun. HDB encouraged buyers to submit their HFE letter documents by 25 September 2026. The last three exercises offered 20,788 flats across 22 projects.
BTO Waiting Times: How Long Every Recent Project Takes, and How to Track Construction
HDB's estimated waits for the 23 BTO project launches from October 2025 to June 2026 ran from 23 to 59 months after flat selection, with a median of 42. Flats HDB completed in 2025 had a median wait of about four years.
How to Apply for a BTO Flat in 2026: Every Step, What You Pay and When
Buying a BTO flat takes six steps over several years: an HFE letter, an application in HDB's 8-day window, a ballot, a booking appointment, the Agreement for Lease and key collection. With an HDB loan you pay 10% of the price by the Agreement for Lease, counting the option fee paid at booking, and 15% at key collection.
BTO Application Rates: Every Project From October 2025 to June 2026, by Applicant Group
In February 2026, first-timer singles applying for Tampines Nova's 2-room Flexi flats faced 117.5 applications per flat set aside for them, while first-timer families applying for Sembawang's 4-room flats faced 0.6. Your BTO odds depend less on the project's popularity than on which applicant group you are in.
