Why Buying a Pre-selling Condo is Timely at the End of the Year

Ever thought about the perfect place to spend your holiday getaway? Found your dream destination but stressed about hotel and Airbnb bookings? Investing in a condominium offers an ideal solution to that dilemma.

A condominium typically can be distinguished into two types of units – pre-selling and Ready For Occupancy. Pre-selling properties are projects under development and will take some time before turning over. Most of the time, these projects are in their construction phase once a real estate investor invest in the pre-selling project and sign that pre-sale contract.

On the other hand, ready-for-occupancy, as its name suggests, are units available for turnover after purchase.

In this article, we will only discuss the advantages of pre-selling condominiums and why you should consider investing in them at the end of the year.

Why Invest In Pre-selling Condo at the End of the Year

There are still buyers who are asking themselves, “Why should I invest in a unit that won’t even be readily available”; Here are some reasons why real estate investors such as yourself should consider having a pre-selling condo during the end of the year.

Be the First to Own a Unit

A common struggle amongst most condo buyers is unit location or unit placement. Newer buyers who wish to invest in their dream condominium often have to settle with units that aren’t at prime locations. Investing in pre-selling condominiums reduces that problem for first-time buyers.

Despite not having the option to move in after purchase due to ongoing development, buying pre-selling condos grant investors and buyers the chance to be the first to own a unit. In addition, there is also the added benefit for early owners to have the privilege of selecting their room and location of choice.

Indeed, the term “the early bird gets the worm” fits the situation when investing in pre-selling condominiums, as an early buyer’s unit can get an edge in terms of location, size, outdoor perspective or view, distance to amenities, elevator, entrance, and flow of foot traffic. 

An additional bonus tip for first-time buyers is to invest during the Ber months as you are most likely to have less competition within the buyer market. Fewer competitors mean more options at better priced-deals.

Better Pricing Deals and Discounts

Astonished and intimidated by the possible financial costs of living in a vertical village? I’m sure buyers like you still have second thoughts about investing due to high total cost prices. However, there are some workarounds that buyers can use to their advantage.

For the first workaround, investing in a pre-selling condominium allows you to save more due to its lower total cost price (TCP). Unlike its) counterpart, pre-selling units are typically offered at lower prices and may even include bonus discounts upon the completion of a purchase. Pre-selling condominiums may offer a 30% to 50% lower introductory price with a down payment price that starts at 10%. Moreover, buyers and investors who opt to pay in full may also enjoy discounts ranging from 5% to 10%.

A second workaround is waiting for the end of the year. The Ber Months is often when most people shift their focus to planning their holiday getaways rather than buying new properties. Buyers looking for better deals may consider the Ber Months as the perfect time to invest in pre-selling condos as the prices are lower due to a lack of purchasing demand from competing buyers. During the period, agents, brokers, and sellers also aim to meet their target quotas before the year’s end, meaning buyers will have leeway to negotiate better deals for their unit of choice.

More Flexible Payment Terms

Buyers looking for a more flexible payment term for their condominium purchases should invest in a pre-selling unit. In comparison to Ready-For-Occupancy units, condos at the pre-selling stage offer buyers a more flexible payment term via a down payment on an installment basis. Through the monthly installment, buyers may settle all their down payments in 24 to 36 months, depending on the contract agreement.

Buyers needing even more flexible payment schemes can also try their luck during the Ber months when there are better chances of negotiating with sellers.
