Out of 200+ first timer, i assume 100+ at least got mcps for these estate

 

[force of nature 1985]

Thanks Bro, but as u mentioned after first round of balloting will be assigned to 2nd queue tickets..

The 2nd queue tickets is still in the ballot with only first timers or together with the 2nd timers?

Actually i am applying for hougang, looks like it is a tough battle even for first timer with MCPS.

Sigh

shd not. the allocation is clear. 1st time is 95% 2nd time is 5%.

beside priority scheme, they also have ppl who didnt applied for any scheme. so your 2nd chance is to ballot with them and as well as anyone not selected in the priority scheme.

 

[foreveru13]

i am conflicted. thinking of switching to BTO ballot.

34units for bukit batok
5% is for FT single = 2units
300 singles ballot for 2 units.
man this is tough!

You can only submit 1 application per NRIC.
if you submit first one on estate A but decided to go with estate B, u need to submit a fresh application which will supercede your first application.

Hello forumers, I have two questions, please help. Thank you.

a) I have decided on either Town A or Town B (both are non-mature towns).

b) I'm looking to apply for either a 4-room or 3-room flat.

Am I able to submit two applications?

 

[Misa]

Yeah this happens when there are very little units left

From the hdb website,

it basically means that single will not be eligible to apply right?

 

[Misa]

does anyone know if a couple can apply twice?
so i apply as occupier and my gf applies another time as occupier as well.
so we pay 20 bucks. or thats not allowed and the other 10 bucks will go to waste?

Cannot. if either one of you is listed as occupier, that person won't be able to apply. Happened before to me.

Thanks bro for the clarification.

man this is tough!

I'm in the same dilemma as you. Tough man!!!

As I was chatting with my friends ... ultimately it's either you get it or not. If the probability is 50%, it's like flipping a coin - the game is still on. But if probability is like 300:1 or 40:1, it is like going to my company D&D, all my colleagues in my table left, I take their lucky draw numbers, but still ... I get nothing ... and the table next to me can have like 80% winners. That's my luck

Also, the application rate numbers means 300 for 1 unit or 300 for 2 units?

 

[deskoh91]

Bro, just to clarify with u..If 76 units is set aside for first timer, u mean 76 units will be choose between the few percent only?
Then remaining 5% units for 90% 2nd timers only?

I really quite blur in this..hahaha..

Means first timer with MCPS scheme sure get good queue number because got two more chances and 2nd timers only fight for the 5% units?

The simple answer is the priority schemes guarantee a number, but not a good one. The priority schemes help you have an opportunity to join the ballot reserved for first timers, be it one ticket, two tickets or four tickets. Your number will be randomly drawn among the available numbers REGARDLESS of whether it is a good or bad number. After that your number will be drawn again with the second timers if you didn't get one the first round.

This explains how second timers can defy the odds and end up with a number that is not always at the tail end after the first timers. In a way it is to give them a chance really. It is bad enough you hardly have any priority, it will be worse if you are always picking trash bin unit or get out of range number.

my prev calculate abit wrong but here is the complete.

Example for Bukit Batok SBF Singles:
34units
40% is for elderly
Allocation is 95% of non-elderly supply for FT & ST families
Allocation is 5% of non-elderly supply for singles

34/100%=14units for elderly, 20units for everyone else
out of the 20units, 5% for singles = 1 unit
274.0 application rate means 274 singles (274 x 1)
274 singles ballot for 1 unit = 274:1
chances per single = 0.36%
I would say that Elderly & FT Families have higher chances so don't waste your 10$.


i have betrayed you guys, i have left SBF and went for BTO.

BTO chances per single = 33%

Which bto are u going for? 2 room?

 

[gorgor]

I would like to ask how to confirm that my application with my kid as an occupier has been under parenthood priority scheme because the submission page showed the 'Public Scheme' instead.Tks!

 

[foreveru13]

Which bto are u going for? 2 room?

yes. i single ma. no chance, try higher % for BTO woodlands. but must wait till 24th May maybe like 5pm to see real stats.
You also thinking SBF? Bukit Panjang maybe. but the completion date is same as woodland or yishun.

Yes, PPS/MCPS will appear as Public Scheme at the end of your application. Just run through the details again before making payment, be sure to see the details of the scheme applied are correct.

 

[gorgor]

thanks for the info.

U mean Marsiling is it? cuz iirc woodlands bto don't have any 2room

 

[delceer]

Cannot leh.
Got message prompt to say that you already applied.

 

[Misa]

You need to cancel your previous application first.

"To cancel the application, you may do so using the online facility found under eSales brochure > 'Apply Online' tab > 'Cancel application' (your Singpass is required). The cancellation is instantaneous."

Paiseh not clear enough

Cannot leh.

[windwaver]

very sad that singles under 55 can only apply for non-matured, end up its only bukit batok and bukit panjang that have hope.
but looking at the previous 2 SBF ratio, think it'll end up being 30:1 ratio and above.

wah first timer singles 5% for SBF only ah.
win liao lor. think i cancel go apply the BTO higher chance.
i feel damn stupid waste my 10$. for bukit batok its 4.4 to 1 unit now.

It's best to confirm with HDB which of your application will they take because only 1 (between SBF and BTO) will be accepted.

The 2nd queue tickets is still in the ballot with only first timers or together with the 2nd timers?

If you fail to get a number in your priority scheme (MCPS) you will be thrown into the public queue along with everybody for ballot.

It's still better than only 1 ballot chance. SBF is always tougher for everybody, not just first timers.

Do also note that prices of SBF will be higher compared to it's BTO price because of shorter waiting time.
