Why 5-Room HDB flats just got more buyers

Video description from @therightmovesg

Five-room HDB flats may have gained a wider buyer pool.

Following the removal of the 15-month wait-out period, eligible private-property owners can purchase a non-subsidised HDB resale flat without waiting, provided they are not taking an HDB housing loan.

Previously, Singaporeans aged 55 and above could receive an exemption when moving into a four-room or smaller resale flat.

The policy change means older, spacious and centrally located five-room or larger flats may now become options for more right-sizers with suitable budgets.

For sellers, this could bring additional demand.

For right-sizers, it creates more choices, but that does not mean every asking price should be accepted. Buyers without an urgent timeline may still choose to wait when prices feel overly aggressive.

The same policy can strengthen one side’s buyer pool while giving the other side more flexibility.
