...by choosing a condominum for your next home!
Spend Less
Condominiums can be significantly less expensive than comparable single family homes in the same area. If you are considering buying a vacation home, that lower pricetag will allow you to make and enjoy that purchase years earlier. If you are ready to downsize, choosing a condo will leave much more in your bank account to be spent on travel and hobbies. And if you are looking for your first home, condominiums are the perfect "starter" purchase that will allow you to begin accruing equity without taking on the much larger financial commitment of a pricier single family home.
Condominiums are also less expensive to insure, less expensive to heat and cool, and often allow residents to bundle the purchase of services like internet and cable packages or even utilities at reduced rates.
Work Less
Mow the grass. Clean the gutters. Fix the siding. Powerwash the driveway. Weed the garden. Rake the leaves. Repair the fence. Trim the hedges. Clean the pool filter. Spread new mulch. Mow the grass again. Replace those loose shingles. Reseed or resod that mysterious new brown spot in the front yard. Call someone to look at the sprinklers and find out why they aren't coming on. Mow the grass again.
Or don't. If you choose a condominium, your evenings and weekends are yours.
Enjoy More
As the owner of a condominium, you have access to all of its amenities. Swimming pools and hot tubs, tennis courts, biking and walking paths, picnic areas, indoor fitness centers, lounges and other common areas are all maintained and ready for your enjoyment. Even better, condomiums are generally built with access to nearby dining and entertainment venues in mind.
If you are considering a real estate investment that will make the most of your money and your time, consider a condo.
