How soon do you want to move in (or rent out)?

How to think about it

When new launch wins

  • • Timeline 2+ years before move-in
  • • Want latest finishes, design, smart features
  • • Lower upfront cash (developer rebates, MOT absorption)
  • • Capital appreciation play in growing area
  • • Tolerate construction delivery risk

When subsale wins

  • • Need to move in within 3 months
  • • Want rental income immediately
  • • Verified neighbourhood, traffic, JMC quality
  • • Often better PSF in established locations
  • • Will renovate to taste anyway
