A 15 month rule that reshaped HDB resale just got scrapped overnight. In 2022, private owners faced a 15 month wait before buying an HDB resale flat. But not everyone waited. Buyers over fifty five got exceptions for small flats. Resale prices soared 10.4 percent in 2022, then cooled to a 0.3 percent dip this quarter. Chee Hong Tat says the curb met its purpose and will be removed with immediate effect. Private owners of any age can now buy any size HDB resale flat, no wait required. If you're weighing a switch from private to HDB, comment your area and I'll break down what changed.
