Pros and cons
Move-in ready or ready-for-occupancy (RFO) homes are those that are already completed and can be readily turned over to their new owners. All you need to do is complete the necessary requirements and paperwork, settle the payments and you’re ready to call it home sweet home.
Pre-selling condo or house and lot units, meanwhile, are those that are not yet built or still under construction at the time of the purchase. These often come at a lower price than RFO units or houses, may require a lower downpayment and could even come with flexible payment schemes. If you’re looking to get a pre-selling condo unit, you may even be lucky to choose your floor, view and unit layout. Some property developers also allow unit customization at the pre-selling stage.
More affordable as they are, pre-selling homes have their trade-offs, too. As these are yet to be constructed, you will have to wait a longer time before you can actually get your own home. Pre-selling residential developments usually take between two and five years to be finished, provided there are no construction or turnover delays. There’s also that possibility that the completed property will not meet your expectations.
If you’re the type who prefers to inspect the property first-hand before investing your hard-earning money, RFO units or homes might be your cup of tea. The price may be more than that of a pre-selling home but you get to have a look and feel of your future living space before making a life-changing decision. You also get to see your future home’s potential. Right then and there, you will know if you and your family would thrive in it.
RFO units or houses likewise allow you to see what your future community is like, from the amenities to the surrounding shops. What you see is what you get. It immediately gives you an idea of the kind of lifestyle to expect once you call this neighborhood home.
