\nApplication rates for two-room flexi flats dropped from a high of 37.6 per flat in 2013 to around 4.2 in 2018.
\nThe application rates among singles for two-room flexi flats have dropped from a high of 37.6 per flat in 2013 to around 4.2 in 2018, reported Channel NewsAsia citing the Housing and Development Board (HDB).
\nThis comes as the annual average supply of two-room flexi flats in non-mature estates has been maintained at about 4,000 from 2014 to 2018.

\nIn July 2013, first-timer single buyers aged 35 and above were allowed to purchase new two-room flexi flats within non-mature estates as part of efforts by the government to provide more housing options for such buyers.
\nHDB revealed that some 14,500 singles have booked a flat since, of which 6,200 have already collected the keys to their new unit as of end-December 2018.
\nMeanwhile, about 9,200 of the successful single applicants have benefitted from one or both of the housing grants available to them \u2013 the Special CPF Housing Grant and the Additional CPF Housing Grant. A single buyer can receive grants of up to $20,000 from each of these.
\n\u201cHDB will continue to monitor the demand and calibrate its supply of two-room flats to better meet the housing needs of this group,\u201d said HDB.
