Single-family home
CondoNow that you’ve decided to become a homeowner, you have to decide what kind of house you’ll buy. While the Phoenix area real estate market has many desirable neighborhoods, your choice of house often comes down to a condo or a single-family home.
Both have pros and cons, so choose the one that matches your needs and preferences best. We’ve prepared this handy guide to help you:
Cost
Get a condo if…you’re on a tight budget. While there are many deluxe, seven-figure condos in Phoenix, multi-family homes are still cheaper than single-family ones.
Get a house and lot if…you want a bigger house, as well as a bigger budget to match. Gated communities near the Phoenix metro are prime real estate, hence their higher price tags.
Location
Get a condo if…you wish to live, work, and play in the heart of the metro. Thus, condos are especially attractive to driven, hard-working young professionals.
Go for a house and lot if…you wish to live far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As such, many families prefer to live in the quiet comfort of suburban Phoenix.
Maintenance
Get a condo if…you don’t want to deal with property upkeep. As part of the association dues you pay, building maintenance will handle things like leaky pipes and pest control for you.
Go for a house and lot if…you’re comfortable doing DIY repairs. An added perk is that you can customize your home with much more freedom than most condo dwellers can.
