Primary Risks Of Buying A Luxury Condo During Pre-construction

We outline potential challenges involved in purchasing luxury condos during pre-construction. While exciting, this type of purchase carries substantial risks. Hard contract deposits, for instance, are a non-refundable commitment that tie buyers to the project until escrow closes, irrespective of personal circumstances or market conditions.

Moreover, construction risks can lead to quality issues and structural faults. Changing urban landscapes can also impact the project's feasibility and your condo's views.
