FYI for Hougang 4-room folks. Managed to get an indicative date from HDB for the selection start date.

Hougang 4-room selection most likely to start latest by 27 Oct, could be slightly earlier depending on the progress of other estates, but will not be later than 27th. Apparently they are changing the schedules every day for almost all estates (those that selection dates not released yet) based on the turnout rates of the applicants. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info RainbowPie17

I have been waiting for the selection date till :s22:
Checking on Myhdb almost daily for the date :s12:

During the selection day, must we tell them that we are taking up the grant that offer by government? or they will do all the job by themselves we just have to give them our payslips? must we specifically say that we are taking up grants.

Should be fine...

But u will nv know until u apply..It does help if u have a bank acct with them with good amt of savings inside..

Gixxerfield can i ask u a qn? Our sobf application was in may 2016 so i assume hdb will ask for my bfs payslips from mar to may 2016. However he does not have the payslip as his old company has shut down already. Is it possible to prove to hdb our pay is below 12k by using cpf or iras contribuition? He also has a offical letter from company that the company has stopped operation.

I think they cycle them back into next sale of balance flats exercise, after last applicant did not pick it up.

Yup, I think the unpicked units from Nov 2015 sobf will come out, so wait for that, this may exercise may only see bukit Panjang come back, if that's what you are eyeing.

Also it is now time for me to peace out from this thread, I have got my flat, and am happy with it. A second tier choice but still quite good I guess. Lucky to get that in my first time applying, as a first timer, I think I am one of the few to get what I wanted in a short period of time, without having to come back again and again.

For all those still waiting, just wait for your turn and enjoy the game, it's a game organised by hdb for all those who want to play. While the reward is big, more likely then not except to lose out, it's the sad fact of statistics. If you are a serious house buyer, you will really need to try non mature, where your chances are better (by alot in most cases).

Lastly I would like to thank people like Garfield, who is helping other people just for helping them, based on the long time he has spent participating in the game and then observing it. This also appears to be the only forum where people can freely share ideas and information on every hdb exercise.

Congrats man! Now time for you to save up lots of money to reno and furnish your nest and start looking for inspirations!

Buying house is a long journey, try to make it a really happy and memorable one :D
