Yes, HDB officers have revealed results of upcoming ballots before and it is not one off. I have followed the Nov 16 thread closely and it has happened. You attend your selection appointment, mention you are also in the ballot for the SBF, and would like to request to know more about your position in the upcoming exercise in the hopes of making a more informed decision.

Of course, this is contingent upon the fact that you have a queue number in a previous exercise that will see you visiting the sales office for selection this week or two, AND that balloted queue numbers for May 2017 SBF are due to be released either this week or the next anyway.

I have a flat selection appointment next week so I tried my luck, called in to hdb asking if they can reveal my q no. to me... but the staff say results not out yet, nothing to reveal to me. Results only out IN AUGUST.

Now me is so sad because hdb officer says if I choose my flat during my appt next week, whatever pending applications i have will be deemed as cancelled wor :(

If you already chosen a flat, why do you still need the other application?

I have not chosen any flat, my appointment is next week.

Anyway, my application for May sbf was submitted before I'm notified about next week's bto flat selection. Plus this bto flat selection was too unexpected because my q no. is way out of the range.

Oh, I think I know why you want to know your queue number.
I estimated that the ballot results should be out by 7 August latest. They wont reveal earlier usually. I tried asking before too.

I was in your situation for the SBF Nov 2016. My selection appt date was 15 May. From the start of the selection exercise (7 Apr) until my appt date, I kept refreshing the list to see which units were taken. The decision wasnt hard to make since the only units left were on 2nd floors & not in the estate that I had wanted either. So I just forgo my appt. Then luckily, SBF May 2017 opened on 18 May.

My suggestion would be to go through your list and if the units you wanted are already taken, then just forgo the appt. BUT if this is your 2nd time forfeiting as a First-Timer, you will lose your First-Timer status for 1 year.

Yes yes, I share your chain of thought. Thanks!

From what I've gathered from lurking here, once mouse icon is gone from Application Status, next is to wait for it to appear on Application Result.

Any idea whats the usual gap between those timings? Tonight? Tomorrow? Next week??
