First-time buyers may be eligible for various grants such as the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG), Family Grant, and Proximity Housing Grant, depending on their income level and other factors.

The resale levy is a fee paid by HDB flat owners when they purchase a second subsidized flat. It is applicable to those who have previously bought a subsidized flat from HDB or received a CPF housing grant.

You can check the value of an HDB resale flat by using the HDB Resale Flat Prices e-service on the HDB website, which provides recent transaction prices of resale flats in different locations. Alternatively, you can engage a licensed property valuer or consult with a property agent to get an estimated valuation based on current market conditions.

The MOP is the minimum period (usually 5 years) that you must physically occupy your flat before you are eligible to sell it, rent it out, or purchase another HDB flat.

The HDB flat selection process begins after you’ve successfully applied and received a queue number. Based on your number, you'll be invited to select a flat from the available units.
