Complete 2025 HDB MOP Guide: BTO Flats Set to Hit the Resale Market

The HDB resale market is gearing up for a notable surge in 2025, with over 13,000 BTO flats reaching their 5-year MOP. While this number might seem like a lot, this is actually lower than in previous years, which is good news for sellers: limited supply often means increased demand.

When these newly eligible flats hit the HDB resale market, they’re set to attract a wave of eager buyers, potentially sparking heightened demand for properties in and around these neighbourhoods. For flat owners in these soon-to-MOP projects — or even those living nearby — this is your moment to plan your next move.

If you’re buying

The market will be brimming with fresh opportunities, particularly in non-mature estates like Punggol. But popular locations like Bedok and Bidadari will likely spark bidding wars, so you’ll need to act fast and decisively. On the bright side, the increased supply might ease price hikes in some areas, giving buyers more room to negotiate.
