THE scramble for the Dawson HDB build-to-order (BTO) flats came to an end yesterday with some flats more than 11 times subscribed.
The two-week application window resulted in a flood of applications for five-room flats, which attracted 2,090 applications for the 176 available. There were 11.9 applications for each available unit.
But home seekers need not be discouraged by the daunting odds as the Housing Board on Tuesday announced that it will offer a fresh batch of BTO flats for sale next Tuesday.
Buyers can look forward to another 1,300 BTO flats in Choa Chu Kang and Hougang, the board said in a statement yesterday. 'HDB will continue to launch more BTO projects in 2010 if there is sustained demand for new flats.'
At Dawson, 6,015 applications were received for the 1,102 available four-room flats and 806 applications for the 270 three-room flats.
Demand for studio apartments outstripped supply by a factor of 10.7, with 429 applications for just 40 units.
