The 15-month HDB wait-out period has been removed, making it easier for eligible private homeowners to right-size into a resale HDB.
This means you can now:
✅ Sell your private property and move straight into a resale HDB
✅ Unlock your sale proceeds sooner
✅ Avoid paying rent or finding temporary accommodation for 15 months
With more private homeowners expected to enter the HDB resale market, competition for well-located flats could increase. If you're thinking about downsizing, your timing and choice of flat may become more important than ever.
Will this policy reshape the HDB resale market? I believe we'll start seeing its impact in the months ahead.
