Decision brief

What this guide resolves

  • Why Builders Sell Below Market
  • Understanding the Payment Structure
  • Key Risks: Delivery Delays and Quality

Builders may price early units below completed-property values to fund construction. Buyers accept delivery, finish-quality, and developer risk in exchange.

The payment example used here is 40% during construction, 30% at delivery, and 30% through a mortgage. Confirm the actual schedule and financing before reserving a unit.

We compare projects listed for 2026 by developer history, location, solvency concerns, and delivery timeline.

Why Builders Sell Below Market

Pre-construction sales, or 'preventa', give builders funding before completion. Lower early prices attract buyers who finance the first construction phases.

The lower price comes with delivery, design-change, finish, and developer-solvency risk. Check the builder's completed projects and financial record.

Understanding the Payment Structure

The stated schedule requires 40% of the total cost during construction. Match each payment deadline to the contract and construction milestone.

The example schedule places 30% at delivery and the final 30% through a mortgage. Verify mortgage eligibility and keep funds available for each contractual deadline.

Key Risks: Delivery Delays and Quality

Delivery delays can result from regulatory holdups, supply-chain issues, or developer finances. A delay shifts the handover date and any planned rental income.

Finished quality may differ from early plans. Put finish specifications, substitution rules, inspection rights, and penalties in the contract.

Projects to Watch in 2026

We track projects listed for 2026 completion in El Poblado and Envigado, including their stated timelines and rental-market assumptions.

We compare developer history, location, stated completion date, and project risks. Projected appreciation is not guaranteed.

Red Flags: What We Avoid

We exclude projects with developer-solvency concerns, unrealistic timelines, or uncertain local demand.

Our review covers developer background, solvency concerns, delivery history, location demand, and project feasibility. Buyers should still review the contract and risks for the specific unit.

Local Market Factors

Neighborhood demand, infrastructure plans, economic conditions, payment timing, and contract terms all affect project risk.

Compare neighborhood demand, infrastructure plans, developer history, payment timing, and contract terms before choosing a project.
