Why Buying a Completed Pre-Sale Could Be Your Best Move Right Now

When most people hear “pre-sale,” they think of buying a condo off a floorplan—waiting months or even years for construction to finish, hoping the home looks as good in real life as it did in the renderings. But right now, there’s a unique opportunity in the market: pre-sales that are already built.

Here’s why this moment is such a sweet spot for buyers.

1. You Can See What You’re Getting

With a completed home, there are no surprises. You don’t have to rely on brochures or show suites—you can walk through the actual unit, inspect the quality, check the views, and get a real feel for the space. This gives you peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.

2. A Faster Timeline

Unlike traditional pre-sales that require years of waiting, these homes are move-in ready. That means a quicker close, less uncertainty, and the ability to settle into your new home (or rental investment) right away.

3. Flexible Contracts with Standard Subjects

Because these homes are completed, your contract can include standard subjects like inspection and financing which is something you typically don’t get with a true pre-sale. This adds an extra layer of protection and flexibility for buyers.

4. Motivated Developers = Better Opportunities

Developers are eager to sell off their remaining inventory. They’re often pricing homes at or near what it cost them to build, simply to recoup costs. In today’s slower market, that means buyers can negotiate excellent deals, extras, or upgrades that wouldn’t have been on the table a year or two ago.

5. Tax Savings on New Construction

Here’s a big one: no property transfer tax up to $1.1M on new construction. For buyers, that’s thousands of dollars in savings! Now money that can go toward your mortgage, furnishing your new place, or just giving you more breathing room financially.

6. A Rare Window of Opportunity

This combination of factors...move-in ready homes, motivated developers, tax breaks, and flexible contracts makes now an especially good time to explore these opportunities. The window won’t last forever as developers sell off the last of their inventory, so it’s a chance worth exploring sooner rather than later.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been thinking about buying, now might be the time to take advantage of this unique corner of the market. Completed pre-sales let you see what you’re getting, close quickly, and potentially save thousands all while developers are motivated to deal.
