Budget 2023: Higher housing grants may shift demand to HDB resale market: analysts
Increase in Central Provident Fund Housing Grant could lead to rise in housing budgets
Increased ballot chances may lead to more eligible buyers applying for Build-To-Order flats
First-TIME homebuyers eyeing the HDB resale market will get up to S$30,000 more in housing grants to help them buy the pricier flats, but the support may prop up demand and prices for resale flats, analysts said.
