Those are the left over units sold in the bi-monthly sales. These are fast running out even in sengkang area. I am gng to select my flat on monday morning for one of these as I got a good number in the last sengkang ballot.
The next ballot is for such flats will be for mature estates. The last one attracted 10000+ ppl fighting for 300 flats and I got a lousy queue number of 6500+++. And this time I predict will have 200 flats or less.
DBSS is extremely overpriced as the developer has to pay a premium for the land in order to outbid their competitors. So their cost is high plus they try to inject a hip factor into what will eventually still be a HDB flat with no condo facilities. Its not even surrounded by walls in its own premises.
If you can wait 3 to 4 yrs, just try for BTO as that is the cheapest of all avenues to get a flat.
Is BTO a first come first serve basis?
I read about the first timer priority scheme, but if I apply late in the open window, will I still have priority?
