Official May 2017 BTO

[GeraldineT]

Under MCPS scheme, you are given a 2nd balloting ticket if you were not selected in the first round (where a percentage of allocation are given to MCPS/PPS applicants). correct me if I'm wrong?

Yap but then all result would be known at the same time Ma.
So she won't even know if it was her mcps that got her good numbers or not. ?

May BTO is UP.

CHOING AHHH !!!!

 

[lemonzzz]

First timer here. Does HDB only issue the q number after 24 May? And may I ask where to view the brochures or to find out about the target completion date?

Under MCPS scheme, you are given a 2nd balloting ticket if you were not selected in the first round (where a percentage of allocation are given to MCPS/PPS applicants). correct me if I'm wrong?

if I were to apply for 5-room through MCPS scheme but did not get selected during the first round of balloting, will they ballot me the 2nd round only for 5-room or will they offer me the option of 4-room as well?

What do u mean first round and 2nd round?
There's only 1 round per bto?
Except for mcps u get more chance.

what MCPS does is that you will first ballot among those that are in the same scheme. and you will be balloting for 30% of the unit allocated for the BTO. (30% of 4 rm units that are available for example)

if you dont get a unit number in this first ballot, you will get a second chance to ballot for the remaining units with everyone else that did not applied for any scheme.

so your chance is higher for your first ballot as you are only fighting against ppl that applies this scheme.

if you are successful in your first ballot, the system will put you in the "success list" where it will wait for the results from the normal ballot to come out. after that they will issue a queue number at random to you. so your queue number is not dependent on whether you applied for scheme or not.

dun think queue number come out so fast ba. hdb need time to process.

brochures will only be available after they start sending letters to the successful candidates

target completion dates can be seen now at the hdb bto sales launch page under the estimated completion date tab

So...
est. completion date - Q42020
est. delivery possession date - Q12021

means take keys when again? 2021 right?

Sembawang SBF haven't clear finish already release new units in the same block.

And next round will clear the hundreds of units from the last round.

Wonder how many years before they clear all the remainders.

for SOBF, first timer + MCPS helps?

 

[foreveru13]

i very sad. some pple want watch the world burn.
already 1 point something still nehneh wan to apply and make our ration 2:1 or above.

yes it does. but do note that there are lesser units available for sobf and there may be more mcps applicants than u think for a particular area you are balloting.

If you did not get a number for MCPS, HDB will give you another chance in the public pool for the same room type (in your case 5rm).

 

[IcYFl4mEz]

So if too many mcps, its better not to use mcps right?

 

[force of nature 1985]

So if too many mcps, its better not to use mcps right?

no ar. still better to use. cos it gives u another chance. 1st chance at the 30% of the set aside units. then another chance at the remaining of the units that is not under any scheme.

if nv use then you will only have 1 chance at the remaining of the units that is free for all.


but hor for mcps, the parents cannot move hse for at least 5 yrs.

Your logic got faulty bo. Everyone wants an ideal location too what. Also not first come first served. Your logic is as good as telling people dont buy toto if not you cannot win.

Anyone knows~~ what would be the minimum good salary to substain the 4 room for Geylang? No need high floor Lor. Maybe 4th floor.

so is it, MCPS will pool together for the first 30% , irregardless 1st timer or 2nd timer?

depends on your savings in CPF/loan you took, you can earn 6k for 1year, or 3k for 10yrs
