The way you calculate how many people applying for your flat is like this:

Take t as the allocation percentage and you get the following:
A) Mature estates
i) first timers: t = 0.95
ii) second timers: t = 0.05
B) Non-mature estates
i) first timers: t = 0.85
ii) second timers: t = 0.15

Now the formula to calculate how many applicants are fighting for the units available is:

Number of units for a specific flat type x Application rate for first/second timers x t

And the formula to calculate the number of flats available in your category (eg 3 room) is:

Number of units for a specific flat type x t

For your case the value of applications received are 214 x 8.1 x 0.15 = 260 and the number of units available are 214 x 0.15 = 32

So in conclusion there are 260 couples fighting for 32 units.

Now your question ask for number of chances and this is impossible to calculate with the info provided by hdb given the fact that you don't know how many of these couples are applying under the MCPS.

So, the best you can do is make assumptions. Assuming that 50% of the applications received fr second timers falls under the MCPS, which gives 2 chances instead of 1, then the number of balloting tickets would be (260 x 0.5 x 2) + (260 x 0.5 x 1) = 390.

You get 2 chances out of 390 to apply for one of the 32 units available.

errr 2 chances out of 390 means what? so is it good or bad? it doesnt sound very optimistic haha. anyway at the bottom of this page :

HDB InfoWEB e-Service : Flat Supply & Applications Received

it says "However, some flats are also set aside for quota-based priority schemes, where HDB does not differentiate between first-timers and second-timers." so does that mean we 2nd timers with priority might also be one of the 85% and not 15%? lol

Let's just say so long as the application rate is not less than 1, you are pretty much relying on fate

Same here^^

I calculated the IL benefits is an opportunity cost that outweighs staying in a mature and near town estate.
But i think Bukit Panjang is a potential town as there is downtown line when the BTO completed. Meaning the price will increase somehow, so buying at this price for this BTO is really cheap.

I guess this is what they call an investment.

bukit panjang = potential town? LMAO. sorry.



:s22: :s13: :D :s8:

Location-wise it's not the best BTO of the lot, but it has got some good things going for it and the price is affordable too. If you live or like living in the north-east north-west, then this is good for you. Bukit Panjang is an upcoming estate, thanks to a new MRT and new mall, the value of the estate should increase with time.

This is written by the same site just months ago, judge yourself
