Yes, PPS guarantees a much better chance, so use that if you have it. You have kids and a first timer?

Parenthood priority scheme. Not sure if it's the highest chance among all, but I think it's also depend on luck , jus like strike 4D. Hahaa. I m thinking of getting 4 room. You interested in this location too?

No such thing as best la Just that there are fewer first timer parents with kids in tow as compared to dating couples with parents staying nearby. The lottery for non-MCPS priority schemes usually go first because of their small numbers (which does not hit the % set aside for them - all the Senior Priority, Third Child Priority...) before MCPS, then finally the general pool for first/second timers. If you qualify for one scheme, you get balloted in that, if you fail, you move on to the next pool you qualify for.

If we fail for MCPS (married child want to be close to family), we will still be entitled for 2 balloting tickets in general pool?

Balloting is really a black box, but yes, should be.

This one is power combo. U will very likely get a good queue number. See the responses at the Feb 2017 BTO thread.

Hope so Nah, jus too lazy to read the long responses for the Feb thread. Actually, I m still thought of waiting on the development for the Dakota crescent and the space where broadrick Sec sch located last time. But due to my kid schooling, I think this is the best option at the current bto which also near to my parent house.

How about you ? Interested in which location then ?

went for a recce over e weekends at night and i must say the area's pretty dingy. no wonder someone mentioned about not too ideal if you have kids. there's a signboard that appealed for witnesses for a modesty outrage crime.. but maybe it will be better with more humans around.

If anything, it's a dual one-lane street with 12 storey middle aged flats on one side and nothing on the other so it feels a little run down and quiet compared to the vibes from Admiralty and Punggol. There are also quite a few rental blocks in its vicinity, and two schools are nearby for those who care about morning bells.

If any of these bother any of you, please don't ballot so I have a better chance

Nb this may bto all sure very exp...haiz nv get my punggol

This may will try for bidadari as is near my gf parent but worried about the cost. We both earn mid 3k only.. Cpf combine around 200k. A bit scary to buy a near 600k 4 room flat

U got 200k cpf no worries Lah... My Nov 2015 bidadari bto cost 500k. Back then, combined cpf 90k, combined income 7k, negligible cash savings.
Now with 100k combined cpf after 5% down payment, 8.5k combined income, with some cash savings, we are not too worried, but still savings lots. You are in a safe financial position.
