There are three categories of home ownership: freehold, condominium and cooperative. Each has its benefits and drawbacks - speak to our BC HOME HUNTER REALTORS to figure out which type will work best for your needs and your lifestyle.

Freehold
Freehold homes offer two significant benefits: freedom of choice and privacy. Since you own the structure and grounds, you’re free to decorate and renovate whenever and whatever you want. However, all maintenance (indoors and out) is your responsibility - be prepared to spend time and money taking care of your home. THE BC HOME HUNTER GROUP REAL ESTATE TEAM VANCOUVERHOMEHUNTER.COM FRASERVALLEYHOMEHUNTER.COM BCHOMEHUNTER.COM LANGLEYHOMEHUNTER.COM SURREYHOMEHUNTER.COM YOUR URBAN & SUBURBAN REAL ESTATE SALES & MARKETING EXPERTS 604-767-6736

Condominiums
Condominiums are typically less expensive to own than a detached house. With a condo, you own (and are responsible for) the interior of your unit. Upkeep of the building and grounds is handled by the condominium association, which is funded by monthly fees collected from tenants. The down side? Condo residents enjoy less privacy than residents of detached homes, and often have to adhere to strict rules regarding noise, use of common areas, renovations, etc.

Cooperatives
Co-ops are like condominiums, except instead of owning your unit, you own a percentage of shares in the entire building. One drawback to living in a cooperative is that if you decide to sell your shares and move out, the co-op board has the right to reject your prospective buyer.THE BC HOME HUNTER GROUP REAL ESTATE TEAM VANCOUVERHOMEHUNTER.COM FRASERVALLEYHOMEHUNTER.COM BCHOMEHUNTER.COM LANGLEYHOMEHUNTER.COM SURREYHOMEHUNTER.COM YOUR URBAN & SUBURBAN REAL ESTATE SALES & MARKETING EXPERTS 604-767-6736
