The One with the Top 5 BTOs of 2010

Was quite excited to chance upon this article in http://www.h88.com.sg/

Here are the Top 5 BTOs of 2010. Ready?

Number 5: Punggol Crest


This BTO is next to the expressway and nowhere as close to the MRT as the other BTOs but yet they were heavily oversubscribed, with an average of  9 applicants vying for a 4-bedroom unit.

Number 4: Punggol Emerald and Punggol Waves

These two BTOs were launched at the same time in April, with a total yield of 1,429 units. They were both 6 1/2 times oversubscribed, especially for the 4-room ones. Only 1 out of 7 got a chance to own a flat there

Number 3: Treegrove@ Woodlands

Launched at the same time as Punggol Crest, Treegrove@Woodlands, was also oversubscribed. The 372 4-room units received some 2,523 applications!

Number 2: Limbang Green

This quiet little Choa Chu Kang BTO hit a record 13 times oversubscribed for its 4-rm HDB flats. It's proximity to Yew Tee MRT and low price made Limbang Green a hit with first-time buyers.

Number 1: Punggol Waterway Terraces

Surprised? Not at all! Waterway Terraces set the record for the priciest BTO in Punggol, with prices of some units hitting $500,000. Plus, it also had the most number of applicants. A total of 1,072 units were available, for the poor 14,279 applicants who tried their luck. But eventually only 1 in 17 got a chance to successfully get the 5-bedroom units applied for. I personally feel the layout is too congested. And a rooftop playground for children? *Shivers*



Huge pats on our backs for E and I! Top 5 babeh, so proud of us! :)
