Do note that when choosing between a build-to-order (BTO) versus a resale property, keep in mind that resale properties are usually more costly than BTO flat. Usually this amount is pretty high for the average Singaporean, thus aside from withdrawing from your Central Provident Fund (CPF) account, you may want to consider taking a loan to fund your new home.


Taking a loan

The amount of CPF Ordinary Account (OA) savings you can use is subject to the CPF housing limits, namely the Valuation Limit (VL) and Withdrawal Limit (WL).OA.


Purchasing multiple properties

Purchasing other properties with HDB flat has some limitations in Singapore. By law, there is a minimum occupation period of 5 years. This means that a person cannot own more than one HDB flat concurrently. In the event that this happens, he or she will be required to sell of the other HDB flat within 6 months.


Loan-To-Value (LTV) Limit

If you are buying an HDB flat, you can apply for an HDB Concessionary Loan. The Loan-To-Value (LTV) limit for HDB Concessionary Loan is up to 90% of the property value or selling price, whichever has a lower value. The remaining 10% can be financed with cash and/or your Ordinary Account from your CPF savings.

If you are buying an HDB flat, you can also choose to take a private bank loan.

The LTV limit for private bank loans is up to 75% of the property value or selling price, whichever has a lower value. The remaining 25% is split into 20%, which can be paid using cash and/or your Ordinary Account from your CPF savings, and a minimum of 5% compulsory cash component.
