There’s nothing like the feeling of being in the right position to be able to buy your first home – and if you find yourself there right now… Congratulations! While this time is very exciting, there is a lot to consider and think about, and it’s only natural to feel overwhelmed.
One of the main questions you’ll face is what type of home to purchase. While there are benefits to both owning a house and a condo – we’d like to point out some of the many awesome benefits a condominium has to offer, especially as a first time home buyer.
In fact, purchasing a condo offers benefits that may take some of the stress away from the many responsibilities that a house will have once you own it. Want to know what those are? We’ve got you. Our team put together the top benefits to buying and owning a condo as your first home – check them out, below!
- Convenience
When purchasing a home, the responsibility may cause some hesitation. If your roof has a leak – it’s on you to fix it. Condominiums offer a great middle-ground, because buyers still outsource much of the responsibility to the property management team or association responsible for the upkeep of the property. While they are not responsible for all repairs, buyers can count on their assistance for most.
2. Amenities
Do you enjoy having a hot tub or a pool? Purchasing a single family home would mean either giving up those things or acquiring the responsibility and financials of maintaining them. When you choose condominium living, these and other condo amenities remain open to you.
3. Relationships
Love to meet new people, or feel safe knowing your neighbors? Condos provide common areas and amenities that create opportunities to meet people and to get to know your neighbors. Chatting with neighbors is easy to do while poolside, in the game room, community gym or at a condo social event.
4. Views
The great thing about condos, is you don’t have to be in the penthouse to have a great view. And when you own a condo in the Daytona Beach area, you can take in that beautiful sunset and ocean breeze. Amazing views could include seeing turquoise blue waters, stunning sunsets, bright city lights or all of the above. An excellent view can make returning home after a long day that much more enjoyable. Also, can you imagine the reaction of your guests when you entertain?
5. Cost
Condos are generally more affordable than detached single-family homes of the same size in the same areas. Sure, you might have HOA fees or assessments, but those cover a lot of the homeownership expenses you would have otherwise paid for. These include costs like powerwashing the building, repairing the roof, cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn or having a front desk staff.
