February 2025 BTO Sales Launch Guide: Kallang/Whampoa; Queenstown; Woodlands; Yishun

In the first BTO sales launch of the year in February 2025, HDB will be offering about 5,000 BTO flats in 5 projects across Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Woodlands and Yishun. About 3,800 of these flats will be Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) flats that have wait times of less than three years.

Those who are looking forward to apply for a flat at the February 2025 BTO sales launch will also have the option to choose from the largest-ever Sales of Balance Flat (SBF) exercise – offering 5,500 previously unsold BTO flats across various towns and estates.

While the BTO flats launched in February 2025 will be under the new flat classification framework, Standard, Plus or Prime, SBF flats that were launched before the October 2024 sales launch will still be under the old mature and non-mature classification.

On the back of tighter restrictions for non-selection of BTO flats, the number of applicants who did not book a flat has dropped from 40% to about 19% over the previous 3 completed BTO sales exercises. That’s why, from the February 2025 BTO sales launch, HDB will only shortlist up to 200% of the total flat supply instead of up to 300% previously.

This will enable HDB to serve shortlisted applicants faster and allow those who do not get a queue number to make housing arrangements earlier, including applying for the following BTO/SBF sales exercise.
