Buying off-plan and payment plans
The structure of buying off-plan involves paying a down payment, monthly installments, periodic balloon payments, and the remaining balance upon handover of the keys. Understanding how down payments in installments work allows you to spread out the initial deposit, but it does not reduce the total unit price, as the amount is redistributed into future installments. During construction, active balances are subject to monetary adjustments indexed by INCC (Brazil's national construction cost index).
