One of the questions I always get is “What pre-construction project should I sell?”. I struggle with this question, because one of the biggest value a real estate agent in pre-construction provides, is telling their clients which project to buy. Also what project works for one agent, doesn’t work for the other.
The relationship that you have with the builder also matters. Why waste energy, time, and money on that project if you can’t get unit allocations? This is your guideline how to chose which projects to sell in 2025.
Talk To Your Brokerage
Always start by talking to your brokerage. Even if your brokerage doesn’t specialize in pre-construction, they will at the very minimum point you in the right direction. If they can’t do that, change brokerages.
Most of the time though, the brokerage will tell you which builders they have a relationship with, and get you in touch with the builder reps. You’re essentially piggybacking of a relationship that’s been built and maintained by your brokerage and other agents.
In the meantime, here are some projects that are worth taking a look at. I will keep updating this article as things change, so don’t forget to subscribe.
The Builder
When selling a pre-construction project, one of the most important factors is the builder. The builder’s name and reputation matter significantly. If you are selling a project for the first time, you are leveraging the reputation the builder has established in the industry. For example, projects by Mattamy Homes are renowned for their high-quality construction, reliability, and timely completion. When promoting this project, you are promoting it on behalf of Mattamy Homes and when a potential client sees it, they already know the brand and are more likely to fill out the form.

While high-rise condos have been in decline, low-rises have still been performing well. Low raises are going to be the best preconstruction projects to sell in 2025.
