Pre-Selling vs. Ready-for-Occupancy: Which Is Right for You?

Jul 14, 2025

When buying a condo in Cebu, you’ll often choose between a pre-selling unit and a ready-for-occupancy (RFO) unit. Both have advantages—but one may be more ideal depending on your timeline and goals.

Pre-selling units, like those in Mactan Newtown, offer lower prices, flexible payment terms, and the chance to pick your ideal layout and view. It's perfect if you're not in a rush and want the best deal.

RFO units offer instant move-in—but come at a higher price with fewer layout options. They're better for buyers who need to relocate fast or want to rent the unit out immediately.

For many investors and OFWs, pre-selling wins because of its affordability, high appreciation potential, and stress-free monthly payments. It's smart timing, especially in a growing township like Mactan Newtown.
