HOW CAN A YOUNG COUPLE GET A UNIT AT BIDADARI BTO...AT A HIGHER CHANCE?

Now that everyone is gunning for the Bidadri BTO, how can you, as one half of a young couple ensure that you have a higher chance at getting a unit?

This checklist comes in handy:

1. Are you a 2nd-timer as a HDB home buyer?
2. Do you intend to have a child at all?
3. Do you intend to have a child within the next 5-10 years?
4. Do you intend to live with your parents/siblings/grandparents at Bidadari?
5. Do you intend to sell your unit when the Minimum Occupation Period is up?

If you had answered 'No' to all four questions, then you should right-size now to a 3-room. This enables you to have a higher chance of getting a better shot at a unit at Bidadari.

95% of 3-room units at a Mature estate BTO are allocated to 1st timers. That's you. And that's the reason why there is currently 10 units for every 6 applicants in the current BTO exercise as of now.

Judging from history, the application numbers for 3-roomers may go up a bit at the end of the close of applications, but it sure beats the low chances of the 4 and 5-room applicants.

I half-suspect the higher pricing of the overall Bidadari exercise is turning off some people too.

So, there you have it. Right-size and stand a higher chance. You have less than 24 hours.

Good luck.
