Ready to Move In

Pros: Immediate possession, no GST on resale, rental income from day one.

Cons: Higher upfront cost, less unit choice, older construction.

Under Construction

Pros: 15-20% lower prices, modern design, flexible payment plans, higher appreciation potential.

Cons: Delivery risk, GST of 5% applicable, no income during construction.

Our Recommendation - For end-users needing immediate housing, ready-to-move is safer. For investors with a 3-5 year horizon, under-construction from reputed developers offers better returns.
