Under construction projects are advisable for buyers who have flexibility in their possession timeline, prefer a lower cost per square foot, and can manage staggered payments. It’s also suitable for those looking for long-term investments with the potential for higher returns. This is also advisable in places where reputed builders come up with projects so that there is trust of certain delivery.
Ready possession projects are advisable for buyers with an immediate housing need, the financial capacity for upfront payment, and a preference for a transparent purchase process. Ready projects are also suitable for those who seek the convenience of moving in right away. This is also advised for markets where reputable builders are lacking so that project delivery is ensured.
In conclusion, the choice between under-construction and ready-possession residential projects depends on your specific circumstances and priorities. It’s crucial to conduct thorough research, consider your financial capability, and evaluate your urgency for possession before making a decision.
Regardless of your choice, ensure that you work with a reputable developer and carefully review all terms and conditions to make a well-informed real estate investment.
