FAQ
Will 2020-2025 growth repeat?
2021's 10%+ growth was COVID-era stimulus and supply constraint. 4-6% annualized is more sustainable.

Cycle timing is hard; long-term hold (10+ years) smooths out cycles.
What about new launches vs resale?
New launches command 15-25% premium at TOP; resale offers more value-for-money.
