I applied before. First time we got a queue number but very very far behind so we decided to forfeit it. Second time we got a good queue number and decided to take the flat.

Anw this has been the normal practice. They will say the $10 is for processing the application, thus you will not get it back.

For those of you have applied, I would like to wish you good luck!

Goverment should build more HDB for its citizen!

Yes more HDB but at reasonable/acceptable price for not so well-to-do family or young family....
they are pricing the flat at way too high~

I agree that prices for new flats are way too high. I can't believe that they're saying that it's reasonable. Since it's supposed to be affordable housing, why is it pegged to private sector property rates?

Well, I guess it's cheap compared to 2million houses that some people are staying in.

open market is asking at least 15k-30k in cash. if u managed to get one without cov u are considered really lucky. becos of this high cov that is driving people to apply directly from hdb instead. i lost count the number of times i applied from hdb since 2007. im very hopeful this time.
