28 weeks тому21:21

21:21

Is buying a condo right for you? Condominiums, or condos, can be an attractive option for homebuyers. Those who feel “priced out” of the homebuying market may discover condos offer a more affordable homeownership option. For some buyers, a condo is a starter home and a place to live for only a few years. While for others looking to take advantage of a condo’s recreational amenities (pools, fitness centers) and low property maintenance (included landscaping), a condo can be a forever home.
