Off-plan or ready to move: how to choose

Off-plan means you buy before the building is finished. Ready means you buy a home you can move into now.

Off-plan often gives you a lower price and a payment plan spread over the build. You get first pick of units and views. The trade is time and a little risk. You wait for handover, and you trust the developer to deliver on schedule.

Ready costs more per square foot in most cases, but you see exactly what you are buying. You can move in or rent it out straight away. No waiting, no guesswork.

If you have time and want the best price, off-plan can work well. If you want income now or a home today, buy ready. We will walk you through the real numbers on a few options so the choice is clear.
