If you are planning to buy property in Tbilisi, one decision comes up surprisingly early: buy a completed apartment — or buy during presale? There is no universal answer. They solve different needs.
The biggest advantage of a completed property: certainty
You can walk through the building. You can see the entrance, understand the proportions, experience the neighbourhood and look through the actual windows. There is far less imagination involved. For someone buying an apartment primarily for personal use, that can be extremely valuable.
With a completed boutique residence such as IN HAUS VERA, for example, buyers can evaluate the real building, its setting and panoramic views rather than making a decision from architectural renders alone.
Why do investors look at presale?
Price and choice. At an early stage, buyers may have access to a broader selection of floors, orientations and layouts. Presale pricing can also create an attractive entry point compared with purchasing the same property at a later stage. That is why people researching Tbilisi real estate investment often compare projects at different stages of construction.
IN HAUS BELINSKI represents this second scenario: a boutique premium project currently at presale, giving buyers the opportunity to enter earlier while choosing from available apartments. Its residential concept also includes a swimming pool.
So is presale always the better investment?
No. And a completed apartment is not automatically the safer financial decision either. Property investment depends on much more than stage of construction.
- location
- developer
- construction quality
- purchase price
- apartment layout
- expected demand
- future competition
- timing
- how easy the property may eventually be to rent or resell
Anyone considering property investment in Tbilisi should assess the whole asset, not one attractive number in an advertisement.
Start with your objective
If you want a home soon and value certainty, completion may matter more than getting the earliest possible price. If you have time and want a wider early-stage choice, presale may suit you better. For an investor, the calculation may be different again.
Don’t ask: “Which is better: presale or completed?” Ask: “Which one is better for what I want to achieve?”
