When planning to purchase a 2-bedroom BTO or a 3-room resale HDB flat in 2031, here are the key points to consider for the downpayment and loan amounts:

BTO Flat (2-Bedroom)

  • Downpayment: For an HDB loan, the downpayment is 10% of the purchase price. This can be fully paid using your CPF Ordinary Account (OA) savings. However, if you opt for a bank loan, the downpayment would be 20% of the purchase price, with at least 5% paid in cash and the remaining amount using CPF savings.
  • Example: If the purchase price of the 2-bedroom BTO flat is $200,000, the downpayment would be:
    • HDB Loan: 10% of $200,000 = $20,000 (can be paid fully from CPF OA).
    • Bank Loan: 20% of $200,000 = $40,000 (at least $10,000 in cash and the rest from CPF OA).

Resale Flat (3-Room)

  • Downpayment: Similar to BTO flats, for an HDB loan, the downpayment is 10% of the purchase price, which can be fully paid using CPF OA. For a bank loan, the downpayment is 20% of the purchase price, with at least 5% paid in cash and the rest from CPF OA.
  • Example: If the purchase price of the 3-room resale flat is $300,000, the downpayment would be:
    • HDB Loan: 10% of $300,000 = $30,000 (can be paid fully from CPF OA).
    • Bank Loan: 20% of $300,000 = $60,000 (at least $15,000 in cash and the rest from CPF OA).

Loan Amount

  • HDB Loan: If you opt for an HDB loan, you can borrow up to 90% of the purchase price.
    • For a $200,000 BTO flat: $180,000 (90% of $200,000).
    • For a $300,000 resale flat: $270,000 (90% of $300,000).
  • Bank Loan: If you opt for a bank loan, you can borrow up to 75% of the purchase price for loans up to 25 years, or up to 55% for loans up to 30 years.
    • For a $200,000 BTO flat: $150,000 (75% of $200,000) or $110,000 (55% of $200,000) depending on the loan tenure.
    • For a $300,000 resale flat: $225,000 (75% of $300,000) or $165,000 (55% of $300,000) depending on the loan tenure.
These calculations will help you plan your finances for purchasing either a BTO or a resale HDB flat in 2031.
