What are the sale of balance flats HDB in 2025?

In February 2025, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) will launch the largest Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise to date, offering over 5,500 SBF units. Here are some key points about this upcoming sale:

- Number of Units: More than 5,500 SBF units will be available, marking the largest SBF exercise ever conducted by HDB.
- Completion Status: About 40% of these units will be completed, while the remaining units will be completed progressively from 2025 to 2028.
- Locations: These flats will be spread across various towns and estates, although specific locations have not been detailed in the announcements.
- Eligibility: Applicants will need to obtain an approved HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) Letter to participate in this exercise.
- Age and Lease: The SBF flats include leftover units from previous BTO launches, surplus SERS replacement flats, and repurchased flats, which may range in age and have varying lease periods. This means not all flats will come with a fresh 99-year lease.
- Pricing: SBF flats can be purchased at prices that are generally cheaper than those in the resale market, and eligible buyers may also qualify for the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) of up to S$80,000.
- Combined Launch: This SBF exercise will be conducted in conjunction with a Build-to-Order (BTO) launch, which will offer about 5,000 BTO flats in Kallang-Whampoa, Queenstown, Woodlands, and Yishun.
