We are talking about selling without AP and you are talking about developer creating artificial demand. I don't see a strong link between the two. Even selling with AP, the artificial demand can still be created, stickers can still be placed on the sales chart at will and fancy, and people can still drop out after "booking" - so long as developers allow easy exit and changing buyers' names. Honestly I failed to see the link of it with selling with and without AP.
sorry to make you putting such great efford trying to make up the "link"..
my statement didnt even say developer selling without AP but allow booking without AP.. no SNP, no selling..
Of course allowing booking few months in advance creates artificial demand.. imagine if the time between booking n snp takes 3 to half years, the so called "fully sold" has been artificially created but in actual fact no transaction took place.. witn each phase getting more and more expensive bcos of "non-existance" demand..? no money actually transacted and the price increase because of demand?
When a project is selling with AP, usually it takes longer time to sell off 1st phase because buyers are required to sign snp and get loan approval between 14 days.. it will have less "book now, think later" mentality, and not all buyers will get loan approved as well. developer still need to fill in the drop out units, and get most of the units sold before proceeding 2nd phase..
lawful unlawful? legal illegal? i guess developer has covered their axx, not easy to get them down...
there was a news where public sued the developer for "selling" before launching... not sure what is the outcome now..
