If you are single and hoping to buy your first home soon, the Prime Minister’s recent announcement at the 2023 National Day Rally might offer more glimmers of hope to acquire a dream home of your choice. From the second half of 2024, singles who are buying Build to order (BTO) flats will no longer be bound by strict HDB rules that limit them to buying only two-room BTO flexi flats in non-mature estates. The new regulations are a lot more relaxed and offer more generous options that were not readily available before.
