Who Can Buy a Home at Fablewoode Residences EC?

Published 3 November 2026

Fablewoode Residences Eligibility in Brief

A home at Fablewoode Residences can be bought by a household that meets HDB’s conditions for a new executive condominium: a Singapore Citizen applicant with at least one other Citizen or Permanent Resident in the family nucleus, everyone aged 21 or over, a total monthly household income of no more than S$16,000, and no private residential property owned or sold in the 30 months before the application. Two or more singles may apply together if all of them are Singapore Citizens aged 35 or over.

These are HDB’s rules as at November 2026. They sit on top of the bank’s own lending tests, and HDB checks them for every application, so a household should confirm its position with HDB before it commits.

The rules are worth reading closely because an executive condominium sits between public and private housing: it is built and sold by a private developer, but for its first years it carries public-housing conditions on who may buy, who must live in it and when it may be sold.

Why S$16,000 and Not S$18,000 at Fablewoode Residences

The income ceiling for a new EC depends on when its land was sold, not on when the buyer books. HDB raised the ceiling to S$18,000 for EC sites whose tenders close on or after 24 August 2026, and kept S$16,000 for sites whose tenders closed before that date. The Sembawang Road tender closed on 11 September 2025, so every household buying a new home here is measured against S$16,000.

The ceiling counts the gross monthly income of everyone listed on the application, applicants and occupiers alike. A household a little above it cannot buy here, however suitable the home; a household within it should look closely at the rest of this list.

Property Ownership Rules for Fablewoode Residences Buyers

Nobody on the application may own private residential property, in Singapore or overseas, and nobody may have disposed of any in the 30 months before applying, counted from the legal completion of the sale. HDB treats an EC unit, a privatised HUDC flat and any home on residential-zoned land as private residential property for this test.

Because the land sale was launched after 9 May 2023, the household may also own at most one non-residential property, such as a shop or an office, at the time of application and in the 30 months before it. An HDB flat may be owned when buying, but it must be disposed of within six months of collecting the keys to the EC.

First-Timers, Second-Timers and the Grant at Fablewoode Residences

A first-timer household, one that has never taken a housing subsidy, may receive the CPF Housing Grant for an EC: S$30,000 for a Citizen household earning S$10,000 a month or less, falling to S$20,000 and S$10,000 in the next two bands, and nil above S$12,000. A Citizen and Permanent Resident household receives S$20,000 or S$10,000 in the first two bands. A household of one first-timer and one second-timer receives half the first-timer scale.

Second-timer households can still buy, but they receive no grant and pay a resale levy of S$55,000 for a family. A household that has already taken two housing subsidies is not eligible. The EC affordability calculator finds the grant tier and the levy for a household in one step.

Checking Eligibility Before the Fablewoode Residences Preview

EC launches move quickly from the price release to the booking day, so the checks are best done early: the household’s combined income against S$16,000, the ownership history of everyone on the application, and the loan the bank will offer under the mortgage servicing ratio. The housing loan information page sets out every rule, and the showflat appointment page lists what to bring.

Registrants receive the e-brochure, the floor plans and the price list from the Sales Concierge as the developer releases them, together with the preview dates.
