Hi CS,
Although its true that when a project TOP, they will usually command a higher asking price due to the enquiries from the public.
However, its not always true that you will not make a loss as long as you buy from developer.
A few reasons why prices will increase
- you bought at 5 years ago, there are time for appreciation
- there are buyers who will only commit after seeing the finished product
- there are buyers will want a new place and they prefer new developments at the point of time
- some investors decide to buy when its TOP due to immediate cash flow returns
However, if you buy a isolated development with no demand from buyers (bad location) at a point when the prices are sky high and when its TOP, prices are at the lowest point (wrong timing). Your chances of making a profit after factoring agent fees, stamp duties are pretty slim.
Cheers.
