As our clients are well aware our passionate real estate team are big fans of owning dirt, however more and more people are investing in condos in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regions nowadays.
So, with that in mind we thought we would list our top seven reasons why you might want to buy and live in a condo.
Aside from the expense of purchasing and maintaining a house it is not surprising more Vancouverites are turning to condo's because condo living comes with several perks which other housing options don’t offer. Let’s take a closer look below at some of the advantages of owning a condo.
1. A More Affordable Alternative
Condos are a more affordable alternative to single family homes. As you know, the average price of homes have increased significantly over the years and many first time buyers can’t afford a house.

However, the emergence of condos has made it possible for people to finally have their own place. Sure, condos have less space than a house, but if it suits your needs and lifestyle, it can be everything you’ve always dreamed of while achieving your goal of home ownership and capital appreciation.
2. Fewer Maintenance Problems
Roof replacements, siding repairs, gutter cleaning, yard work, exterior wall repainting, HVAC system installations, electrical and plumbing maintenance are just some of the common (and costly!) problems that come with having a house. Condo owners aren’t troubled with these because they only have to maintain the interiors of their particular units while their monthly maintenance fees go toward the upkeep of the building at large.
3. Conveniently Located
Condos are often located in areas that have multiple options for public transit and are within close proximity to many retail, grocery and office locations.
4. Access to Amenities
A condo lifestyle also comes with many amenities such as gyms, saunas, swimming pools, hot tubs, game rooms, media lounges, rooftop terraces, party rooms, theatre rooms and guest suites. As an owner in the condo you have full access to these facilities as part of your monthly maintenance fees.
5. More Security Features
Many condo buildings in Metro Vancouver have sophisticated security systems, 24 hr concierge/security and in-suite security systems.
6. A Potentially Wise Investment
Buying "the right" condo is a wise choice from an investor’s point of view. Condominiums are very marketable because they’re affordable, accessible and conveniently located. Add to that the rental market for condominium apartments in Metro Vancouver and you have the potential for a great investment!
7. A Place To Call Home
There’s no better feeling than having a place of your own. All your hard work has paid off and you are now part of the home owners club. Congratulations!
