Property investment education

Why buying early can matter

Understanding the relationship between development stage, entry price and eventual retail positioning is an important part of property education.

  1. Early / wholesale release

    Selected opportunities may initially be released at wholesale or early-stage pricing.

  2. Construction progresses

    As the project is built, its stage and positioning begin to change.

  3. Facilities open

    Resort facilities and amenities come online, maturing the development.

  4. Project matures

    Later releases may be offered at different prices as the project establishes.

  5. Retail positioning

    The development reaches its later retail stages and market positioning.

Please note: There are never guarantees that property prices will increase. Property investment involves risk, and values, occupancy and market conditions can rise or fall. Always obtain independent professional advice.
