Compare new developments by their facts
A development page describes a project. To compare particular homes, start by separating the facts shared by the project from the details of each unit.

Two new developments can look similar in a gallery while describing very different choices. Start a comparison with a small set of facts that you can place side by side: location, stated stage, home types and the date those details were observed.
Locate the project before comparing the homes
A municipality is a broad search area. A named locality or neighbourhood narrows the context, but still does not establish the plot or the position of a particular unit. Use the development directory to build a shortlist and the area pages to understand the town around it.
Keep unanswered location questions visible. Do not infer walking distances, an outlook or access arrangements from a project's name or marketing image.
Read stage as a dated statement
Off plan, under construction and completed describe the stage stated in the observed project information. A missing stage means it was not stated. It does not mean that work has or has not started.
Check the observation date beside the stage. Ask for the current position and for information about the specific phase or building that interests you; a project-wide label may not answer that question.
Separate the whole project from a unit
A published total of homes describes the project, not the number currently available. A bedroom range describes the mix of homes, not every unit. The same care applies to a listed pool, garden or parking: establish what is shared, what is private and what belongs to the unit.
The images remain the developer's marketing material. A rendering can explain an intended design without proving the present condition of the site.
Keep the comparison useful
Write down the source date, the facts that are stated and the questions still open for each project. Then compare the particular homes you are considering on the same basis. Clavy's methodology helps distinguish observed project information from a record or a derived result.
Questions this post answers
No. A project total and current availability are different facts. Confirm availability for the specific unit and phase.

What is a home worth? Start with an address.
General information, not legal, tax or financial advice, and not a valuation of any home. Facts about a particular property are read on its own page with their source and resolution level.
