Are you back for more? Or
visiting for the first time? Either way,
we are on to our 4th installment in the series on breaking down the
Buying Process. Here we go...
The
Buying Process, Step 5: House Hunting 2 - Detached Homes, Townhomes,
and Condominiums
Now that we've talked in general about all the different styles of
homes available, let's talk about the three most purchased types of
homes in our area:
detached homes, townhomes, and condominiums.
Detached
Homes
- Detached homes are typically
single-family homes.
- May or may not be part of a
Home Owner's Association, but if so,
the HOA will not maintain the home.
- If the detached home is part
of a Home Owner's Association, the
HOA will enforce all community rules for your property.
- With a detached property,
you own the property and the land the
home is on.
Townhomes
- Townhomes are typically
attached to another home.
- Townhomes are typically part
of a Home Owner's Association,
incurring HOA dues.
- The Home Owner's Association
will maintain the portion, but you
have to check the details of the agreement to know what is covered in
maintenance.
- With a townhome, you own the
property, roof, and ground, however
you have limitations as to what you can and cannot do with that
property (landscaping and alterations).
Condominiums
- Condominiums are part of a
Home Owner's Association, incurring
HOA dues.
- The HOA will dues pay for
common area maintenance, utilities,
handling complaints, planning for future expenses, etc.
- The HOA has rules that can
limit pets, number of vehicles, or
what you can have on your patio.
- With a condo, you own the
interior of your unit and one share of
the entire condominium complex, which includes the driveways, roofs,
siding, etc.
- With a condo, you do NOT own
the structure, so you can't make any
changes on the outside of the property, only inside your unit.
This should give you a pretty good start on selecting what type of home
you may be interested in looking at. Give me a call when you are ready
to look! Looking at them will give you a better visual of what each
type of home is really like. We're happy to provide you with some
private tours of each different type of home to help you make a
decision.
Then we'll be on our way to Step 6 - What's On The Market?

Buying Process. Here we go...
The
Buying Process, Step 4: House Hunting 1 - The Architectural Styles of
Homes
Once you begin your search for a new home, the first thing you need to
decide is what style of home you like. There are many to choose from,
the most common of which are;
- Colonial - typically have
bedrooms on the second floor
- Bungalow - one and one-half
story houses, small covered porches
at entry
- Cape Cod - one and one-half
stories, dormers and shutters,
clapboard or brick siding
- Ranch - one story, built-in
garage, wood or brick exterior walls,
sliding and picture windows
- Tudor - patterned brick or
stone walls, rounded doorways,
multi-paned casement windows, large stone chimneys
- Victorian - patterned
shingles, curved towers, spindled porches
- Split Level - garage and TV
room on the outer edge of building,
mid-level juts out from the two-story section for living and dining
rooms, area above garage for bedrooms
There are many, many more
styles of homes to choose from. Take a
look at
the entire list of architectural
styles of homes
on our website. Some of them may seem quite similar to others, as
certain architectural styles are based on others. It can get confusing
and they can start looking too much alike to tell the differences.
Feel free to call me for a consultation so that we can narrow down the
style of
home you will search for!

Homes!
