EXPECT MORE
Considering a condominium or townhome as your first home? These types of homes often come with a lower price point to enter – which will help you start to build equity and enjoy the benefits of owning a home sooner.
They are usually smaller than single-family homes, with smaller square footage which, usually comes with a smaller price tag. As a result, condos typically have a lower asking price, too.
Builders are focusing more on homes like these. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) says that the share of townhomes being built is at an all-time high.
That means there’s a good number of options to add to your home search if you broaden it to include condos and townhomes. And you may even find something that works better for your budget.
So, if you’re comfortable with a smaller space and want to buy your first home before the spring rush, adding these types of homes to your search might be your answer.
The Perks of a Condo Lifestyle
Living in a condo has many other perks, too. Why are condos appealing for first-time buyers?
They help you start building equity. When you buy a condo or townhome, you build equity and your net worth as you make your mortgage payments and as your condo’s value goes up over time.
They can be low maintenance. Condos are great if you want to own your place but don’t want to mow the lawn, shovel snow, or fix the roof. I can help explain any associated fees and details for the condos you’re interested in.
They usually come with a range of amenities. Your condo might come with access to a pool, dog park, or parking. And the best part? You don’t have to take care of any of them.
They create a sense of community. Buying a condo means you’ll be living close to other people, which is nice if you want a more close-knit feel. Many communities like these hold fun events such as barbecues and parties to help create that sense of connection among residents.
Remember, your first home doesn’t have to be the one you stay in forever. The important thing is to get your foot in the door as a homeowner so you can start to gain home equity. Later on, that equity can help you buy another place if you want something different.
