4 advantages of buying a house or condo during the rainy season.
For those looking to buy a new home, visiting potential properties during the rainy season can be tempting. Many might wonder why go out in the rain when it's better to wait until sunny. But let me tell you, visiting projects during the rainy season has several advantages you won't find in other seasons. Let's explore them:
__________________________________________
1. Assess the area's flooding potential.
Visiting a project during or after a rainstorm allows you to see how prone the roads, alleys, and surrounding areas are to flood. Does this pose a problem for your travel? If you really like the project, you can prepare contingency plans. If you're still undecided due to multiple options, flooding can be a valuable factor in your decision-making.

2. Evaluate the project's ability to handle rainwater.
Visiting a project while it's raining or immediately after, allows you to assess whether the area within the project is prone to flooding. Good projects will have raised ground levels and efficient drainage systems. For condos, you can inspect the flood protection measures in the building's basements. Because, as we've seen in the news, there have been incidents of underground parking lots flooding, causing significant damage.

3. Check for water leaks in houses and condos.
Rainy weather is a good opportunity to check if the house or condo unit you're interested in has any of the following problems: water leaks in the roof, ceiling, walls, and around doors and windows, as well as water pooling on balconies, patios, and terraces. You can also observe for dampness inside the rooms. If the ventilation is poor, the house will have a musty smell and may develop mold.

4. Take advantage of valuable promotions because it's the low season.
The rainy season is already a low season for almost all types of businesses. The real estate market often offers attractive promotions to boost sales before the end of the year. Especially in the current situation where the real estate industry is affected by COVID-19, the promotional conditions are even more worthwhile. This is a great opportunity for anyone ready to buy a house or condo during this period.
