A condominium is usually a housing unit or apartment in a multi-unit building in which each unit is individually owned, while common areas and the property, in general, are jointly owned by the residents and the owner of the building, or all of the residents together. Given below are some reasons why it is better to buy a condominium than a single house in Fairfax County.
1. Condos Are Cheaper (Somewhat)
Some people choose to purchase and live in a condominium in Fairfax County because some condos are less expensive than a traditional single-family house. Additionally, many condos have added amenities and facilities, which single houses of the same price do not have.
2. Condos Have Luxuries Which Single Houses Don't Have
Most condominiums in Fairfax County have amenities you won’t find on a similarly priced single-family residence. A typical condo has a pool, a work-out room, and party room. Typically all or some of the exterior maintenance and lawn care is provided by the condo association. Many condos have utilities included in the price of the condo fee. These and many other luxuries are standard in a condominium community but are beyond the reach of those who reside in single family homes.
3. Condos Give You Financial Freedom
The best part about owning a condo in Fairfax County is that your condominium sets you on the path to financial freedom. Buying a condo costs more monthly cash flow than renting an apartment. But, in most cases, all that money comes back to you at the end of the year in the form of tax refunds. Best of all, next year your mortgage will be the same amount and your debt will be reduced. With an apartment, your money is gone and your rent will surely have a cost of living increase.
