The government may lower the age limit of 35 for singles buying HDB flats. In the past, public housing was built for families — singles only had private housing. But more people today are staying single or marrying later — and the government respects that. 1990s resale at 35. 2010s BTO in non mature towns. 2024 BTO islandwide for singles. The government still wants to encourage marriage and parenthood — families come first. Now, singles get priority to buy a flat near or with their parents under the Family Care Scheme. Should the age limit drop below 35? Tell me your take in the comments.
