Two quotas govern HDB resale: Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) and SPR quota. If your block is at quota for the buyer's group, the sale can't proceed. Check before you list.
How EIP works: HDB sets max % per ethnic group per block + neighbourhood. When a block hits quota for an ethnicity, no buyer of that ethnicity can purchase resale flats in that block, regardless of price. Quotas are: Chinese 84% block / 87% neighbourhood; Malay 22% / 25%; Indian/Other 12% / 15%. SPR quota: 5% per block / 8% per neighbourhood for non-Malaysian SPRs.
