Should you sell your completed townhouses or hold them for long-term wealth?
This is the exit decision that makes or breaks developers. Most people get it wrong because they rely on gut feel instead of numbers, market timing, and strategy.
In this video, I break down the exact sell-or-hold framework I use when advising first-time and advanced developers across Melbourne. You’ll learn when selling maximises your profit, when holding quietly builds long-term equity, and when the smartest move is a hybrid approach that lets you grow fast without choking your borrowing power.
If you’re running feasibilities, approaching completion, or trying to build momentum in your development journey, this video will show you how real developers think about exit strategy, not emotion, not guesswork, just data and leverage.
If you want access to real numbers, real sites, and real developers making these decisions every day, join our free Property Developer Network. Thousands of members are inside sharing deals, feasibilities, and case studies in real time.

Most townhouse developers miss this. And when they do, it can cripple their project.
Before you buy a site, or even start designing on a site you already own – you need to check overshadowing of the neighbour’s private open space. Not the windows. Not the setbacks. The backyard.
Get this wrong and you can lose metres off your footprint.
Lose metres and you lose bedrooms, function, value, and profit.
In some cases, developers are forced to go from two dwellings down to one. That’s how brutal it can be.

If you want to make intelligent, confident development decisions, this needs to be on your due diligence checklist.
