Despite the strong demand for new apartments and a large number of applicants, about 80% first-time buyers can still buy houses when they apply for BTO for the first time.

Even if the first application is unsuccessful, about 96% of first-time home buyers can still successfully purchase pre-purchased units in the second application.

Ma Baoshan, Minister of National Development, visited the Housing Development Bureau yesterday morning to learn about the sales of pre-purchased units and said: "The supply of pre-purchased units is sufficient to meet the demand. This is my guarantee to buyers, especially young couples who want to organize their families. Please don't worry, we still have different locations and affordable units for them to choose from. "

Recently, many people have written to the newspapers, saying that they have failed to apply for new units many times. In response to a press conference yesterday morning, the Housing Authority pointed out that most first-time home buyers have successfully purchased pre-purchased units, while most of those who have not purchased units have given up their purchase opportunities themselves instead of being rejected by new units.

The Housing Authority also disclosed the situation of three complainants, saying that most of them preferred the fully developed HDB or voluntarily gave up the purchase opportunity.

According to the data of the Housing and Construction Bureau, although there are many applicants who have pre-purchased apartments, many people still give up buying apartments. Last year, 65,438+100,465,438+077 first-time home buyers applied for pre-purchasing units, but 8,226 of them, or about 58%, finally gave up buying any units.

Since the Government amended the Home Ownership Scheme Application Ordinance last year, the abstention rate in the first half of this year has dropped to 45%. According to the new law, first-time buyers are invited to buy units twice, but they give up the opportunity and will not be able to enjoy the priority of first-time buyers in the next year. Up to now, the priority of 4 1 1 applicant has been cancelled.

First-time buyers have one more chance to draw lots than other applicants, and the Housing Authority will reserve up to 90% of new flats for them to choose from.

The reasons why the applicant didn't choose this unit include that the favorite unit has been sold out, the completion date of this unit is too long, and other housing options are reconsidered.
