The 4 Phases of Every Condo — Which Phase Did You Buy Into?

Property Phases 1 of 5: every condo moves through four phases — Early Growth, Peak, Maturity, Decline — and the phase you buy into shapes your outcome more than the postcode does.

Key takeaways

  • 1

    Every condo moves through four phases: Early Growth, Peak, Maturity and Decline.

  • 2

    Phase 1 (Early Growth): the project is under construction, entry is lowest, and the developer raises prices as units sell.

  • 3

    Phase 2 (Peak): around completion — immediate move-in, immediate rental income, and no remaining developer supply.

  • 4

    Phase 3 (Maturity): the condo still rises in value, but slower than the district around it.

  • 5

    Phase 4 (Decline): lease decay, rising maintenance and a shrinking pool of buyers take over.
