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.
Condos
Condominiums are simple. Ordinarily the lawn mowing and all outside maintenance is included in the association dues. The yard, roof, and pool, if your neighborhood has one, are not your responsibility. Younger couple who don’t have children, single people, and retirees find that this will make their lives much more easy. These can also work great as a first home. 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
For couples with children, the traditional family home is generally the ideal option. 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. A single family home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, provides the benefit of being the most in demand when you get ready to sell. Although, you may have to put a lot of money into maintaining your “regular” home as they can sometimes require a lot o work, which is one disadvantage.
A Home in the Town.
The fact that our current home is over 100 years old does not sit well with me. People are so fascinated by older homes, they are nice, but I do not see why. Usually, the houses near the center of a city or town are much older, which is one of their problems. However, being close to the center of things allows you easy access to downtown areas. We live here to be within walking distance. Even within a short walking distance there are grocery stores available. We love the lifestyle of being in town.
A Suburban Home
In the suburbs you get newer homes and room for the kids to play. Some suburban areas are a haven for those looking to escape city crime rates. 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. You may want to consider those extra miles now that gasoline is getting so expensive.
