A common question for first time buyers- Should I buy a house or a condo? Many factors should be considered in this important decision. Five main things should be considered before jumping into buying either one.
1. Location- Do you prefer living in the city center or in a more residential area?
2. Privacy- Do close neighbors bother you or do you find it a comfort?
3. Responsibility- Do you want to be independent, or have a group of neighbors to discuss problems and decisions regarding the property?
4. Maintenance- Do you love having a landlord to call when anything goes wrong? Do you like working in the yard?
5. Budget- Depending on the area, there can be a big difference in the cost of a condo vs. a house, in square feet, in maintenance, in upgrades, and don't forget HOA fees!
