The October 2025 BTO sales exercise saw strong demand with a total of 31,095 applications for 9,144 flats, resulting in an overall application rate of about 3.4 times. Demand remains robust, especially for first-timer families, whose median oct BTO application rate ranges from 1.1 to 1.7, offering many a good chance to secure a flat.
In contrast, second-timer families saw a higher median rate of 14.8, reflecting increased allocation for this group since July 2025. Prime location flats in Bukit Merah and Bishan, such as the Berlayar Residences and Bishan Terraces, drew strong interest with HDB BTO application rates reaching up to 4.4 times.
Despite strong demand, OCT BTO application rates for most flat types have been lower than in 2024, partly due to the expanded BTO supply and the increased diversity of locations offered.

October 2025 BTO Launch Highlights
- HDB launched 9,144 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats across 10 projects in eight towns in October 2025, marking the most significant flat supply for the year.
- Towns covered include:
- Ang Mo Kio
- Bedok
- Bishan
- Bukit Merah (including Greater Southern Waterfront and Jalan Bukit Merah)
- Jurong East
- Sengkang (featured the fifth Community Care Apartment (CCA) project for seniors)
- Toa Payoh / Mount Pleasant Crest
- Yishun (Chencharu and Ring Road)
- Many project sites are conveniently located near MRT stations, including the upcoming Mount Pleasant MRT Station (TE10) and Jurong Town Hall MRT Station (JE7, Jurong Region Line, under construction).
- The October launch offered a mix of Prime, Plus, and Standard flat projects, reflecting HDB’s commitment to meeting diverse homebuyer needs and budgets.
- Notably, subsidy recovery rates for Prime flats, such as Berlayar Residences in Bukit Merah, are higher (around 14%), indicating a premium product with more extended Minimum Occupation Periods (MOPs).
- This launch exercise did not include any Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise, unlike previous launches in the year.
- The strong supply in this launch contributed to the total of 19,723 BTO flats released by HDB in 2025, surpassing 2024’s total BTO flat supply.
- First-timer families experienced median application rates of 1.1 to 1.7 across most flat types, indicating a relatively moderate level of competition compared to past years.

The October 2025 launch marked the year’s most significant flat supply. It continued HDB’s efforts to meet diverse homebuyer needs with a mix of Standard, Plus, and Prime flats, including the fifth Community Care Apartment (CCA) project for seniors. Many projects are conveniently located near upcoming MRT stations, such as Mount Pleasant (TE10) and Jurong Town Hall (JE7).
The official total of 9,144 flats has been confirmed by HDB and government sources, replacing earlier estimates that totalled around 9,060 units. The updated figure reflects minor adjustments in unit counts made as project details were finalised closer to the launch date.

The Bukit Merah project marks the first Build-To-Order (BTO) launch in the Greater Southern Waterfront, an emerging district envisioned to become a significant residential and lifestyle hub by 2025.

Comprising approximately 870 flats and expected to fall under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, the project is likely to see strong demand due to the limited availability of public housing in such a premium city-fringe area, despite having fewer nearby schools compared to other mature estates.
