Hi ladies, as per title, how many times did you have to apply for your BTO before getting it? Let's share here, I applied once but no success yet, guess I have to open my minds to other location options..

i actually got a super duper good number on my 2nd try, but forfeited it. I had heard that it's very difficult to get a number, so i tried every single BTO that came out. When i received a good number, i was so torn between buying or not buying.. coz the location is too far away and i didn't like it. in the end i gave up. and that happened TWICE. all the BTOs i bid for near my place, i couldn't get. Then 2 of those far far away ones, i got super good number. haiz. should not have been so kan chiong, should have just been selective. being desperate and panicky is no good.

I have tried 1 time and couldnt get it. Already ROM but no house so decided to look at resale. Any advice?

So there is nothing we can do but to pray that we get a very good number for the BTO?? OMG, this is so scary...

Speedz, are you looking for a specific location? If you are not, i think can still give BTO another shot as next month got more than 4 I think.

I am still deciding between BTO , resale flats or ECs.. but may be settling for resale flat, after seeing so many applicants balloting for the BTO project every month..

Wag so good.... I tried balloting for many times already... Din get a queue number till today ... Some more now they going to review the income ceiling, I think it will be harder to get a queue number now... I'm quite interested in applying for a flat at a mature estate but I the chance of getting these flats in the area should be extremely low, given the high demand ... Anyone managed to get a good queue number in the projects at mature estates?????

I think sure got people who are more lucky than others.. People who tried first time and get a queue no. for a matured estate... Then flip side, there will be people who tried more than 5 times also get nothing...
