What did the owner pay?
If he bought low, he has room to lower his price for you. If he bought high, he can't go below what he paid, and you end up covering it.

The Florence Residences, same stack, both sold in 2026
Sold $185,000 cheaper. Made $191,000 more profit.
Two 4‑bedroom units at The Florence Residences, same stack, same size. My client paid $376,000 less when he bought, so he could sell for less and still walk away with more. In a free 4‑minute video, I show you how to spot that kind of unit before you buy.

How I pick a unit
I look at the price of the unit first, then the project.
Buyers usually ask me which condo is the best. But inside one project, one unit makes a healthy profit while the unit next door barely breaks even. Most of the time, the difference is what the owner paid to get in.
The one question I check for every client
When you sell, will someone pay more than you did?
Since 2021Helping buyers and investors
New launch and resaleI sell both, so I have no side to push
What the owner paidChecked on every unit I recommend
In the video
Three things I check before I recommend any unit
A lower entry price is a safer entry. These three checks tell me whether the price is right, and I go through each one in the video.
2Your break-even
What price must you sell at to make money?
Add stamp duty, legal fees and loan interest to your purchase price. Sell within 4 years and you also pay the 4-year selling penalty. That total is the number to beat.
3Your competition
Who else will be selling when you sell?
Count the same-size units in your project, plus new condos nearby that will be ready by then. The more units like yours, the harder it is to get your price.
The proof
Six real examples. Pick one.
Two are my own deals. Four come from public sales records. In every one, the owner who paid less to get in came out ahead.
My sale, new launch
The Florence Residences
My client sold for $185,000 less and still made $191,000 more profit, because he paid $376,000 less to get in.
In all six, the owner who paid less had more room.
More profit at Florence, Martin Modern and Clavon. A quicker sale at Florence, done in about 3 days. A better price for my buyer at The Seawind. The freedom to sell at The Botany. A $110,000 head start at Kassia.
Why it matters now
Thomson Reserve sold 1,143 units in two days
At a launch, most buyers pick their unit in one afternoon. In resale, a fairly priced unit doesn't stay on the market long either. Whichever you're doing, it helps to know what to check before you're the one holding the cheque.

That's a lot more choice for buyers when it's your turn to sell.
What it means for you
If you overpay at the start, the market is less likely to cover it for you later.
