What type of home or set up is right for you? Maybe the advantages and disadvantages of each listed below can help you decide. Choose each carefully and decide.
Condominiums
Living in a condominium is uncomplicated. Most of the time, you will have already included in the association dues all of the lawn mowing and outside maintenance. You don’t have to be responsible for mowing a lawn or trimming hedges, or fixing a leaky roof, and there could be a in ground pool included that you can enjoy with out having to clean it. For single individuals, retirees, and young couples with no children, condominium living does not require much effort on your part. Sometimes they are also great starter homes. With the cost of a two bedroom home in Tucson, Arizona, starting around $160,000, my family found that the condominiums that were for sale for $80,000 looked quite attractive. There are various locations, however, where homes are less expensive than condominiums. Also, there will be rules, so be sure you can live with them before you buy.
A Single Family Home
A basic family home is usually the goal if you have children. Family homes come in a variety of styles, but whichever style appeals to you, you will want to ensure that there is ample space for all members of the family, and the children could benefit from a yard to enjoy outdoor activities. An advantage of purchasing a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is that they have a high resale value as these are the qualities most people are looking for. However, these homes may take a lot of your time, effort, and money to keep them looking good.
Houses in Town
The home that I presently live in is more than 100 years old, and this poses some problems. It has its good points, but I just don’t get the fascination with old homes. This is one of the problems of buying near the center of a town or city – the houses are usually all old. The reason that we chose this location, was to be able to walk downtown, which was an important plus for us. Even within a short walking distance there are grocery stores available. Being in town is a lifestyle we love.
A Suburban Home
In the suburbs you get newer homes and room for the kids to play. In some cities this is where you have to move to get away from the crime. If it is a nice subdivision, you can expect decent appreciation over time as well. Some negatives associated with suburban life are that you can expect to spend a substantial amount of time, on work around the house and yard, in order to maintain it’s condition, and you will also have to manage a commute to your employment and shopping. The ever-rising cost of gas, may need to be a primary consideration when you decide whether the advantages of living in the suburbs, will make up for the added miles you will travel to work each day.
