Young couples buying resale flats will enjoy higher subsidies of up to $50,000.
In his 2017 budget statement, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat shared that CPF housing grants will be raised from $30,000 to $50,000 for first-time applicants looking to buy 4-room or smaller HDB flats on the resale market.
For 5-room or larger flats, the grants will be increased from $30,000 to $40,000.
This measure is expected to cost the government an additional $110 million per year. More details will be announced by the Ministry of National Development during the upcoming Committee of Supply debate.
