June BTO Draws 22,312 Applications; Bishan New-vs-Resale Debate Highlights $2.9M Dilemma
Published 25 June 2026 · Covers news from 24 Jun to 25 Jun
The June 2026 BTO exercise attracted 22,312 applicants at 3.2 times oversubscription, with Bukit Merah's Berlayar Rise emerging as the standout project. Separately, a detailed comparison of new launch AMO Residence versus resale The Gardens at Bishan frames a real $2.9M decision facing families in the Bishan–Upper Thomson corridor.
- The June 2026 BTO exercise recorded 22,312 applications at an overall application rate of 3.2 times, according to Stacked Homes; Berlayar Rise in Bukit Merah registered the highest demand across all flat types, while Woodgrove Acres in Woodlands drew stronger interest than both Ang Mo Kio Plus projects despite lacking a nearby MRT station [3].
- Stacked Homes reports that singles showed particularly strong preference for Berlayar Rise, making it the clear favourite among that buyer group in the June 2026 exercise [3].
- A Stacked Homes case study pits AMO Residence (new launch) against The Gardens at Bishan (resale) for a family with a $2.9M budget, examining psf premiums, lease age, floor plan layouts, and school catchment proximity along the Bishan and Upper Thomson corridor — factors that materially affect long-term value and liveability [1].
- Stacked Homes outlines three signals that may indicate an optimal time to sell a resale condo: a new launch coming to market nearby, a shrinking buyer pool, and a pricing advantage that is time-limited — framing the decision as driven by market dynamics rather than price peaks alone [2].
- Item [4] concerns a Malaysian developer's land acquisition and stock movement; it contains no substantive data specific to Singapore buyers or agents and has been set aside for this digest.
