Data on Wait Times Between BTO Application Closing and Flat Selection or Booking Notification over Past Five Years

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for National Development for Build-To-Order (BTO) project launches in the last five years, what is the 25th percentile, median, average and 75th percentile of the number of months between the closing of the BTO application exercise and (i) the notification to select a flat and (ii) the booking of a flat.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: The 25th percentile, median, average and 75th percentile of the number of months between the closing of a Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise and the booking of a flat for 2021 to 2025 1 are set out in Table 1 below 2 . Successful applicants are typically notified to book a flat about two weeks before their scheduled flat booking appointment.

Note(s) to Question No(s) 51:

1 2025 data comprise the February and July 2025 BTO exercises, for which flat booking has been completed. The October 2025 BTO exercise is excluded from the computation because flat booking is still ongoing.

2 Figures are rounded to the nearest one decimal place. Ineligible and cancelled cases are excluded.
