I'm just moving into my presale condo this week with the wife. Pretty much everything has been covered so I won't reiterate it all.

One thing I took from it all was to not expect "brand-new" in the way you would a packaged good or even a car (most of the time). I told my wife this going into our walkthrough, and she was just disappointed with some of the finishing and work that was done. We went nuts with the painter's tape marking deficiencies, and basically are left at the mercy of the developer who refused a second walkthrough before closing.

I guess we'll find out later this week!

Oh and one other thing- most new places nowadays will have a year to report deficiencies in your unit to the developer. This would include stuff like sinking/cracked drywall, things that stop working, etc. It's a small condolence given that the developer chooses when the "fixes" will happen.
