Condominium Boom Changes Housing Landscape Across Nation
A surge in new condominium units for sale signals a major shift in housing. Buyers, including younger and older households, seek townhouses, garden flats, and high rises as conversions convert rentals to condos, with price and location guiding decisions. Cautions include land leases, rising maintenance, unclear rents, construction flaws, voting control by developers, utility control, project growth, and restrictive management contracts. Caveat emptor remains essential.
