Off-Plan vs Ready
What it means
  • THE MONTH'S FINDING: off-plan share fell for a 5th consecutive month, 77.0% in March to 69.1% in July. That is a trend, not a wobble, and it changes how new capital should be placed.
  • It is a rotation INTO finished stock, not a flight from off-plan: off-plan sales fell 3.4% while ready sales rose 13.0%. The share moved because the numerator grew slower, not because demand collapsed.
  • The cause is supply, not sentiment: 24,800 homes were handed over in H1, so there is far more finished, mortgageable, immediately rentable product competing for the same buyer.
