How to Apply for the June 2026 BTO: Step-by-Step Guide
The June 2026 BTO sales exercise is now open for flat applications. HDB is offering 6,952 new BTO flats across 7 projects. Applications close on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at 11:59pm. Apply now at the HDB InfoWEB.

If you are planning to apply, the single most important thing you can do right now is ensure you have a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter. HDB has stated that during the 8-day application period, the 'Apply for HFE Letter' e-Service will be temporarily unavailable to prioritise resources for the sales exercise. If you do not already have an HFE letter — or if your existing one has expired — you may not be able to apply at all.

HDB's advisory is clear: submit all required documents for your HFE letter by 15 May 2026 if you intend to participate. If you missed that deadline, you should still apply for your HFE letter now — it may still be processed in time, but there are no guarantees.

What Is the HFE Letter and Why Is It Essential?
The HFE letter is a pre-requisite for any BTO application. It confirms your eligibility to buy a new HDB flat and indicates the flat types and loan amounts you qualify for. Without a valid HFE letter, you cannot submit a BTO application during the sales exercise.

To get your HFE letter, log in to the HDB Flat Eligibility e-Service using your Singpass. You will need to provide:
- Income documents (last 12 months of payslips or CPF contribution history)
- CPF account statements
- Existing property ownership details (if any)
- Particulars of all listed occupiers

HDB will assess your household income, citizenship status, and property ownership history to determine eligibility. The processing time varies, so apply early.

What Projects Are in the June 2026 BTO Launch?
HDB has announced 7 projects across 5 towns for the June 2026 exercise, offering approximately 5,800 flats. Here is the full list:

Plus Classification (Ang Mo Kio)
- Kebun Baru Ridge — Ang Mo Kio
- Kebun Baru Breeze — Ang Mo Kio

Prime Classification
- Lakeview Cascadia — Bishan
- Berlayar Rise — Bukit Merah

Standard Classification
- Sembawang Portico — Sembawang
- Sembawang Brook — Sembawang
- Woodgrove Acres — Woodlands

The Plus and Prime projects will have income ceilings and subsidy recovery rules, while Standard projects offer more straightforward pricing. Check our BTO Tracker for the latest application rate data once the exercise opens.

Marymount or Telok Blangah? The Big Question for June 2026
One of the biggest dilemmas for first-timers in this launch is choosing between Marymount and Telok Blangah — two very different propositions that both come with Plus or Prime premiums.

Marymount, near Caldecott MRT on the Circle Line, offers excellent city connectivity and proximity to the upcoming Toa Payoh West @ Caldecott precinct. It is close to MacRitchie Reservoir and the Thomson-Line corridor, making it one of the better-connected Plus projects in recent memory. The trade-off: Plus classification means tighter income ceilings and subsidy recovery on resale, which eats into your upside if you plan to sell after MOP.

Telok Blangah, on the other hand, sits in a mature estate with established hawker centres, markets, and harbour views towards Sentosa. It is near HarbourFront MRT and VivoCity — convenience that is hard to beat. But Prime classification comes with the strictest recovery rules in the HDB framework and a 10-year MOP instead of the usual 5. For buyers who value immediate livability and do not mind the longer commitment, Telok Blangah is compelling. For those who want flexibility and potential capital gains, Marymount may be the smarter play.

Both areas command premiums over Standard projects. If your household income exceeds the Plus ceiling of $14,000, Marymount is off the table. Exceed the Prime ceiling and Telok Blangah is out of reach too. Check your HFE letter carefully — it will tell you exactly which classifications you qualify for.

How to Apply Once the Sales Exercise Opens
When HDB opens the application portal, here is what you need to do:

1. Go to the HDB InfoWEB at hdb.gov.sg and navigate to the BTO application page
2. Log in with Singpass
3. Select the project you want to apply for — you can only apply for one project per sales exercise
4. Choose your flat type and unit preferences
5. Pay the non-refundable application fee of $10
6. Submit your application within the 8-day window

Remember: you can only apply for ONE flat type in ONE project. Choose wisely based on your budget, eligibility, and priority. First-timer families get the highest priority in the ballot.

Key Dates to Remember
- 15 May 2026: Deadline to submit HFE letter documents for guaranteed processing before the sales exercise
- June 2026: Sales exercise opens (exact dates TBC — check our launches page for updates)
- 8-day application window: During this period, HFE e-Service will be unavailable
- Ballot results: Typically announced 2-3 weeks after the application period closes

What If You Miss the HFE Deadline?
If you did not submit your HFE documents by 15 May 2026, all is not lost. You can still apply for an HFE letter, but processing times may mean it is not ready before the application window closes. HDB has been known to expedite certain cases, but this is not guaranteed.

Your best bet: apply for your HFE letter immediately if you have not already done so. Even if you miss this exercise, a valid HFE letter remains valid for 6 months and can be used for the October 2026 BTO launch or the SBF (Sale of Balance Flats) exercise.

Summary: Your Pre-Application Checklist
- Valid HFE letter (check expiry date)
- Singpass account with 2FA enabled
- Household income documents ready
- Decided on preferred project and flat type
- Application fee of $10 ready (credit/debit card or e-payment)
- Know your priority status (first-timer vs second-timer)

We will update this article and our BTO project listing the moment the June 2026 application window opens. In the meantime, get your HFE letter sorted — it is the one thing that will determine whether you can even apply at all.
