Is HDB balloting truly random ?

[Sforthought]

or they do sort out certain criteria themselves but they announce it as randomly selected by computers.

Criteria like : income. job stability.

After all, HDB is afterall giving a housing loan right ? Really random then housing loan to a no job stability gig worker vs a full time employed worker with good salary. Chance of gig worker not being able to repay loan is much higher right ?


I mean really ? So much money involved, so many commitments involved over many years. "It`s random"

Up for discussion.

Need HLE letter approved then can ballot. So you definitely need an income to get HDB loan. If no income and no cash then when you collect key and can't pay, then you are rejected lor. Your booking will go to open selection or sbf balloting

Unstable job or gig worker will have lower amount that can be taken for loan lor...

Now HFE liao, no HFE letter can't apply, everything needs to be in order, less cases of rejection cause they filter out.

Can choose first but their selection very very limited and random. Might be top floor corner unit, might be 2nd floor corridor unit.
Cannot anyhow suka suka choose.

No stable job, no talk.
My secondary school friend was an IT help desk in an insurance firm for yrs, never upgrade his career, got a BTO in buona vista area.
Was considered ex to him at that time 600k onward, at least he got many yrs of cpf savings to tank.

 

[Tyrian]

I think quite random. Heard a chao Keng fellow in my company got low single digit in a Yishun BTO.

 

[DarkStarer]

My niece who is gig worker got a 2 digit q number on her first try.

I'm on to my 6th with no q number

From my experience I truly believe not pure chances and random. Just that is a secret that no one will share.
