Starting from October 2024, new Build-To-Order (BTO) flats will be classified into Standard, Plus, and Prime types. Standard flats have the usual subsidies and restrictions. Plus flats are in desirable locations with more subsidies and stricter resale conditions. Prime flats are in sought-after areas with the highest subsidies and the strictest conditions.

The applicant's spouse currently owns a private property, disqualifying them from applying for an HDB flat. They must not own any property for at least 30 months before applying and until taking possession of the HDB flat. Alternatively, they can wait 30 months after disposing of the private property before buying a resale flat.

A wife cannot buy an HDB flat if her husband owns a private property as HDB rules state that a married couple must not own or have any interest in private property during the application and required period before possession.

There is no indication or details about a quota for F&B usage for HDB shophouses.

Whether a property deal in Singapore is good depends on market trends, location, property type, and personal finances. In 2025, property prices are moderately growing with a 4–7% rise expected. Lower interest rates and new developments offer buyers more options. Condominiums are leading in price growth. Comparing prices with recent transactions and reviewing the property's condition are advisable steps.

Executive condominiums (ECs) have eligibility requirements like income ceilings and may include housing grants. Non-executive (private) condominiums lack these restrictions or grants and can be purchased by foreigners without special permission.

Since the onset of Covid-19, property prices in Singapore have increased significantly, with private residential property prices rising by about 10.6% in 2021, 8.6% in 2022, and 6.8% in 2023. From early 2020 to 2025, prices have risen over 30%.

To calculate rentability in Singapore, use the gross rental yield: (Annual Rental Income / Property Price) x 100. Gross yield is simple, while net yield includes extra costs like maintenance and taxes. Factors like lease tenure and amenities also affect rentability. Use tools like EdgeProp for accurate data.

High ceiling units in Singapore are popular for offering a sense of space, design flexibility, and potential premium pricing. They are found in new condominiums, landed homes, conservation shophouses, and rare HDB loft units, appealing to buyers for their spacious and distinctive layouts.
