🏠 Flat Prices: BTO projects
Flat Prices (hdbprices.com) is Liddat’s sister site for HDB flats, and the launches on this page come from it: each exercise’s projects, flats, prices, sizes and waiting times from HDB’s launch releases and price tables, and the application rates HDB published after each one closed, which Flat Prices keeps after HDB’s own pages drop them. The blocks, storeys and completion dates are from its list of every BTO project.
Flat Prices has every BTO project since December 2009 on a map, each with its completion date and whether it’s late, the blocks it became and what they now sell for, alongside every HDB resale since 1990 and a page for every block.
