Hi there,
- When buying a new house, Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) face different eligibility criteria and grants.
- Singaporeans are eligible for more housing grants than PRs, which can reduce the overall cost.
- For new Build-to-Order (BTO) flats, Singaporeans can apply as a single or with family, while PRs must form a family nucleus.
- Resale flats offer more flexibility; both Singaporeans and PRs can buy, but PRs need to fulfill a minimum occupation period (MOP) of three years before selling.
- PRs also face Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) when purchasing their first property, while Singaporeans do not.
- The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio can differ, with Singaporeans generally having access to higher financing.
- Resale market offers more options and immediate availability compared to waiting for BTO flats.
Thank you.
