Is buying at launch better than buying later in the project cycle?

If you are reasonably confident in evaluating the developer and area and you are comfortable waiting, launch-stage buying can be an excellent early entry opportunity.
If you prefer a clearer picture of project momentum, demand profile, and execution progress, a later-stage purchase may feel safer and more practical.
Do not assume that launch buying is always the smartest move or that waiting is always a mistake.
The real issue is balancing price advantage against the amount of information available at the decision point.
