I am first timer applicant who has already applied once for BTO (unsuccessful). If I were to apply for the upcoming BTO (successful) but decided not to get the BTO, am I still considered as 1st time?

Yes! You would still be considered a first-timer. Second-timers refer to people who have already bought a BTO before and are now looking to buy another one.

However, do note that if you were successful but did not get the BTO, you will have your previous unsuccessful applications set to 0. That means you won't have any advantage in balloting for a BTO in the next round.

Should you reject 2 chances to select a flat your first-timer privileges will be removed for a period of 1 year.

Any flat applications made during this period will be placed together with second-timer applicants, and no additional ballot chances will be given.

These measures are implemented by HDB to discourage people from balloting unnecessarily. Source: https://www.hdb.gov.sg/cs/infoweb/residential/b...

If I applied the BTO and I gotten the ballot queue number but I decided not to get the BTO, will this considered under 1st timer applicant?

First timer family & non-mature estate. I applied BTO once (first time) but unsuccessful. If I applying for sales of balance (2nd time) and it’s unsuccessful, will I get 1 more ballot chance next?

Hi seedly community, I was looking at hdb website that all FIRST time BTO applicants get additional ballot chances following unsuccessful BTO application. How abt 2nd time applicants?

I am currently 1 year into my first job and planning to propose by next year and get married in 2-3 years time. However, our BTO application have not been successful. What should I do?

How do I increase my chances of successfully getting a HDB BTO? I have been trying for a few launches and still unsuccessful every time. What am I doing wrongly? Is there a way to increase my chances?
