Dealing with unsold properties, referred to as residual stock, is one of the risks a property developer has to face sometimes.
Some property developers decide to keep some of their properties and sell them later when the market is better. This way, they can maximise the return on investment and aren't forced to sell in a hurry.
The good news is, there's a way to handle this issue – it's called residual stock finance.
A residual stock loan is a short-term loan tied to the homes that haven't been sold yet in a development project. This kind of funding eases the burden on the developer, providing them with the time to find buyers who are willing to pay reasonable prices for unsold homes.

Developers may end up with unsold stock due to a market downturn, making their selling prices seem high. Alternatively, they might intentionally hold back some properties to prevent oversupply in the market.
