Around 13,000 new flats will be put up for sale from two BTO sales launches in October and December. Many BTO flats are well-located, in proximity to an MRT station or surrounded by ample amenities. As a result, we expect more buyers to be diverted from the secondary market,” OrangeTee said.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPropNex echoed this, adding that the BTO sales launch already affected transactions in 3Q23.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“We think the decline in the resale market activity could be partially due to the Ghost month which straddled August and September, as well as the HDB’s build-to-order (BTO) exercise, which was postponed from August to 4 October,” PropNex said.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Some prospective buyers may have decided to wait for the BTO launch, given the desirable locations offered, including in Kallang Whampoa and Queenstown,” PropNex added.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn 3Q23, resale volume dipped 19.7% MoM and 23.3% YoY.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Some buyers may have held back the purchase of a resale flat to see if there are BTO flats with a shorter completion time or non-PLH flats in mature estates,” commented Huttons.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPropNex added that a “mismatch in price expectations between sellers and buyers could also have slowed transactions” during the period.\u003Cbr /\u003E\n \u003C/p\u003E
