Dear Michelle,

Hope I understand your situation right.

  1. You have gotten a BTO/Resale with grant before
  2. You are asking on how to avoid the HDB Resale Levy and get another HDB loan for your next HDB purchase

If I understand the above 2 points right, the Resale Levy is meant to "fine" second timers from purchasing their seccond subsidised housing. Unless you have special reasons, you can always try to appeal and let HDB consider (case-by-case basis) and hope for the best. Otherwise, you are eligible to 2 HDB loans per life time. Unless (again), you have special reasons, you can always appeal to check if a 3rd HDB loan is possible (case-by-case basis).

What is your current situation and have you calculated out your cash proceeds to see if your sale proceeds can cover the Resale Levy? If you are unsure on how to, you can head to HDB's calculator or reach out to me at +65 80 321 321.

All the best!

hdb loan is based on income level, max 2 times in a lifetime. https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/buying-a-fla...
