Prime subsidy recovery on resale
Prime flats carry a subsidy recovery on resale (typically ~9% applied to the eventual resale price). This is the price of the larger upfront subsidy you receive on purchase. Plus and Prime also have a 10-year MOP (vs Standard's 5-year) and bans on renting out the whole flat.
Use the BTO Plus/Prime Clawback Calculator to estimate net proceeds at a hypothetical sale year and compare against the Standard equivalent.

Methodology & Sources
Figures below are drawn from October 2025 BTO and revised one-time.
HDB resale and rental data from data.gov.sg.
- HDB project list and indicative pricing sourced from HDB press releases for the October 2025 BTO launch.
- Nearby resale comparison uses HDB resale transactions in BUKIT MERAH over the last 12 months (averaged price ÷ midpoint floor area, converted to PSF).
- Ballot odds precedent aggregates final subscription rates from past BTO launches in BUKIT MERAH under the Prime tier; median is reported with sample-size.
- Walkability score from ShiokNest WalkabilityService (DB-based: MRT + schools); OneMap amenities fetched on enrichment.
We report medians (not means) so a single outlier transaction cannot skew district-level figures. PSF = price per square foot.
