what changed

according to the developer dim, in 2021 62% of deals happened at early construction stages, and in 2025 only 18%. instead, 77% of purchases are in buildings more than 60% complete. the buyer checks the developer's reputation, documents and the logic of the project, and takes 67 days on average to decide.

the conclusion is simple: if your building is already highly complete, the site should show it as prominently as the price. if it's at an early stage, trust has to be built especially carefully.

where to place the block

construction progress works as proof, so it should come after the person understands the product and has seen floor plans and prices, and before the request. that way it removes the last doubt before deciding to leave contact details.
