How to Buy an HDB in Singapore
- To buy an HDB you must be at least 21 years old, a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident, and have a gross monthly income below $8,000. If you are buying the HDB to accommodate your extended family, your gross monthly income must be below $12,000. These requirements are made to limit the number of people looking to live in an HDB, because the government subsidizes the development of this housing option.
- HDBs are located all over Singapore; limit your search to one area. You can find listings of available HDBs in the "Straits Times" newspaper or property search websites. These will list the rough price, size and location.
- You will buy the HDB through an application process found on the Housing & Development Board website (see Resources). The application will verify whether you are eligible for HDB housing.
