Condos vs. houses
A condo offers amenities and lower maintenance, but HOA fees can increase and special assessments may arise. A house offers land and independence but higher insurance and upkeep.
Financing a condo
Lenders review the building's budget, reserves, owner-occupancy ratio and litigation. Non-warrantable buildings require specialized loans with higher down payments.
Buyer checklist: from budget to closing
- Set your budget. Define a monthly ceiling that includes taxes, insurance and HOA, and the cash you will bring to closing.
- Get pre-approved. Compare at least three lenders and obtain a written pre-approval before touring.
- Choose your agent. Work with a local buyer's agent who knows pricing, flood zones and building rules.
- Make a data-backed offer. Base the offer on recent comparable sales, days on market and condition.
- Inspect everything. Order a general inspection plus roof, 4-point, wind mitigation, pool or marine inspections as needed.
- Insure the property. Request homeowners, wind and flood quotes before the inspection period ends.
- Close with confidence. Review the title, final walk-through and closing disclosure; wire funds only after verifying instructions by phone.
