Not sure if this is good news or bad news to those who applied for the May BTO.

It was a different story for Build-To-Order (BTO) flats which received 4,882 applications for the 4,900 units on offer.

With at an application rate of one applicant for each unit on offer, this could possibly be the lowest rate ever. The application rate in the January BTO exercise was 3.8 and 3.1 in the March BTO exercise.


Analysts said location could have been a big factor.

The BTO projects launched in May are located in non-mature estates and seem less attractive compared to the balance flats that are being offered in mature estates.

Mr Lim added accessibility is also an issue with projects not located near MRT stations.


Colin Tan, research head at Chesterton Suntec International said he is not surprised that the project in the relatively better established Hougang saw the strongest demand.

There were about four applicants for each four-room unit on offer.

"Even though the units in the mature estates cost a lot more, they still attract a lot more applicants. When someone buys a home, they look at its entirety in terms of convenience, location, and even capital appreciation. Although they are priced a lot higher, people see that there may be more upside for units in the mature estates," said Mr Tan.

Doesnt matter..Only mean less competitors for some areas..

Actually i'm worried due to the low applicants for Sembawang and some people who spread rumors on whether the Sembawang will proceed to build on despite the low application rate?

JW location is not that bad... its quite near to Lakeside MRT (but the map looks far so its not accurate). There is in fact 2 bus stops... one just outside the BTO... which goes directly to JE MRT, JEM etc. The other bus stop, u got to walk like 5-10 mins to the main small road, to take bus to Lakeside MRT which is 3 stops away.

Nearby also have lots of kopitiam, markets and hawker centers.

i think location wise, sembawang is the worst, as its a new estate being built up. So lack of amenities within the area is expected.
