Look beyond price
Location, services, access and future development often matter as much as the initial price.
| Property type | Often suitable for | Key variables | Cost or risk to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| New home | Living in or renting to families | Location, layout, finishes and warranty | Excluded equipment and maintenance |
| Apartment | Rental and service-oriented living | Fees, parking, occupancy and rules | Special assessments and restrictions |
| Serviced land | Future construction or appreciation | Land use, utilities, frontage and topography | Site preparation and realistic build timeline |
| Retail or warehouse | Business operation or rental | Access, loading, power and demand | Fit-out, permits and vacancy |
Compare with a long-term view
Real estate decisions should balance current needs with appreciation and resale potential.
