SINGAPORE, Dec 22 — The Housing and Development Board (HDB) plans to offer about 17,000 Build-to-Order (BTO) flat units in 2021, just slightly more than the number launched this year.
Property analysts
TODAY spoke to said they expect demand for the new flats to be quite strong, especially given the recession, as homebuyers tend to flock towards public housing amid economic uncertainty.
“Application rates will surely be more than encouraging and fairly overwhelming for BTO flats that are conscientiously conceptualised with vibrant precinct themes,” said property analyst Ong Kah Seng.In 2020, HDB launched 16,752 new BTO units.
