Note: The HDB BTO December 2023 projects have been launched. Applications close on 11 December 2023, 11.59pm.
The Dec 2023 BTO launch offers 6,057 units across seven estates: Bedok, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Queenstown, and Woodlands.
The HDB BTO December 2023 projects located in more central locations like the Alexandra Peaks Bukit Merah HDB BTO Dec 2023 and Ulu Pandan Vista Queenstown HDB BTO Dec 2023 projects are launched under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model. Such BTO flats come with different rules from other BTO flats, including a 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP).

Apply For a BTO Flat in 2023
Applicants should also take note of four BTO application updates, which kickstarted from the HDB BTO October 2023 BTO launch:
- First-timer applicants who receive a BTO ballot but reject it will be considered second-timer applicants for a year. If they reject their BTO ballots again, they won’t be eligible to apply for any BTO launches for the following year
- The Family and Parenthood Priority Scheme (FPPS) has replaced the Parenthood Priority Scheme (PPS). This update comprises a new priority subset: First-timer (Parents and Married Couples), or the FT(PMC). Up to 40% of BTO flats are reserved for this category of applicants in each BTO sales exercise
- FT(PMC) applicants who do not receive BTO ballots when applying for flats will receive additional ballots in subsequent rounds to increase their chances of getting a home
- All BTO applicants need to submit their applications with a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter, which assesses their HDB flat, CPF Housing Grant, and HDB loan eligibility. The HFE letter takes about 21 working days to process, and recent delays have been reported – so we advise that you apply for it in advance of BTO launches!
That said, let’s now take a closer look at the Dec 2023 BTO projects.
Dec 2023 BTO Launch Overview
| HDB BTO December 2023 estate | Number of units |
| Bedok | 1,234 |
| Bishan | 732 |
| Bukit Merah | 904 |
| Bukit Panjang | 334 |
| Jurong West | 716 |
| Queenstown | 890 |
| Woodlands | 1,247 across two sites |
In the HDB BTO December 2023 launch, BTO flats in four mature estates have been launched, which is likely to drum up quite a bit of hype. The Alexandra Peaks Bukit Merah HDB BTO Dec 2023 and Ulu Pandan Vista Queenstown HDB BTO Dec 2023 projects, in particular, look likely to be heavily oversubscribed due to their central location.
As for the non-mature estates, the Jurong Arcadia Jurong West BTO Dec 2023 project could potentially be a popular choice due to the rejuvenation of the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the opening of future Jurong Region Line (JRL) MRT stations nearby.
On the other hand, those looking for a budget buy might want to consider the Urban Rise @ Woodlands and Woodlands Beacon BTO Dec 2023 projects, which yield a generous supply of 1,247 BTO flats combined.

On the bright side, the Jurong Arcadia Jurong West Dec 2023 BTO flats will be located very near the new Jurong Innovation District, making it ideal for those who work in related industries.

Financing Your BTO Flat: Which Is Better, HDB Loan Or Bank Loan?
Successfully got allocated a flat? Congrats! Now it’s time to consider your financing arrangements as well as work out the housing grants you can apply for. Your main options for financing are HDB loans and bank loans.
HDB loans technically enable you to pay a lower downpayment, but do be aware that the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit has been reduced to 80% after the September 2022 cooling measures, requiring you to pay more upfront.
Should you opt for a bank loan, you must find out how much you can borrow and how much you will have to pay in cash. Comparing interest rates across banks is particularly important especially now that interest rates are on the rise.
