thanks! all the best for your selection. Did ours yesterday
reason why it's taking so long it's because some applicants are still undecided on their unit choice when they were at HDB..... hahaah

how is the selection like ah? when it is yr appt time, u need to tell them the unit number already or they will wait wait wait until you happy with your questions and answers and finally make selection before going on to next number? each q number no time limit?

It's pretty systematic & straightforward; they will serve approx 2 - 3 numbers at a go. After producing your relevant personal documents, u can make make your selection. It depends whether those before your queue number have made their selection.. gotta wait till they make theirs before you can choose.. and of cos all the neccessary signing of documents..

if i'm not wrong, HLE still have time to be done after selection, because it only last 3 months... and from the time u select to the time u go and pay, it is abt 3 months, so i'd rather do HLE after selection...

yep it has to be ready by the time u make 1st downpayment, so when u go down for selection, pay the 2K option fee, then apply HLE, is the best time...

No la, u wun lose 2K option fee unless u reject the house...

HDB OCS way overpriced. Flooring for 4 RM is $4800 now. 1000 sqft less off 2 bathroom, Kitchen and Service Yard and Bombshelft, left with about 700 to 750 sq ft. If doing flooring on your own with Renovation ID or contractor, using $3 / 1 sqft tiles, will cost only about $2100 to $2250. HDB is using those $3 tiles only.

2 Bathrooms, Kitchen, Service Yard and Bomb Shelter, flooring given.
So OCS flooring covers 3 Bedrooms, Dining and Living, plus the walkway only.

Likewise, 5 internal doors costing $2830 is super overpriced at $566 per door. $200 - $300 already can get very very good quality doors on our own.

The only advantage of getting OCS is, able to use CPF to pay, vs Cash or Reno Loan for the flooring / doors to be done during Renovation.

I have a query.

My q no is 6x and my selection date is this sun morning.

Why do more people choose 189 instead of 165 for those who prefers units that face the pandan reservoir?
Since 165 is nearer to the MRT, the distance of 189 and 165 to the mrt track is around the same and 189 being nearer to the ever busy ave 6, wont 165 be more attractive than 189??
