We could not find an official requirement for a booked flight. An itinerary of your stay is commonly requested in visa checklists, and a held reservation is one way to show the dates. Check the Home Affairs page for the current list.
A paid booking is not confirmed as mandatory. You should be able to say where you will stay, either through accommodation details in your itinerary or a host's invitation.
The cautious approach is to buy tickets only after the visa is granted, since the fee is not returned if the application fails and processing times vary.
