List of SBF launches

Sale of Balance Flats, comprising unsold leftover flats from past BTO launches, surplus flats from SERS projects, old repurchased flats (including flats from some divorced or fiance couples), are done “when HDB accumulate sufficient flats“, usually twice per year, but this is NOT A RULE. Since 2010 the SBF exercise is done same day with a BTO launch.

In May 2015 HDB announced that have 9,000 unsold flats that will be offered in two SBF exercises concurrent with May and August BTO launches, but in press release of 1 July 2015 HDB announced that the exercise was delayed to September, then the BTO launch was cancelled and mixed up with November BTO launch, and SBF was done at same time. Reason: HDB needed extra time to implement the new schemes of 2-Room Flexi and grants.

Fiance-fiancee couples who break up and do not get married within 6 months after receiving keys, as well as other people who for whatever reason need to sell the flat back to HDB during minimum occupation period, need to pay a penalty of 5% of market value of the flat, but more severely, they lose the first-timer status, and the flat is sold again via Sale of Balance Flats.

Sale of Balance Flats brochures

First time I visited HDB website was in late 2008 and saved SBF brochures only due to my interest for floor plans. Since early 2010 I started saving every BTO brochure too, so earliest BTO brochures I was able to find were December 2009 ones.

If you are looking for older BTO, don’t ask for original BTO launch brochures because I don’t have them, but you can try your luck in below brochures from Sale of Balance Flats, if the block had leftover / unsold flats you may find block floor plans below (these SBF brochures also contain floor plans of individual flats, repurchased by HDB).

Since 2012, HDB no longer provide one brochure for each town, instead there is a separate file for each site plan, each block plan, each individual flat available for sale, making a total of over 1000 PDF and JPG files for each sale launch, had to spend 10-15 hours right clicking > save file as, until 2016 when I started feeling that I am wasting time downloading them with too little benefits. I can provide them on request basis for some $.
