Condo Living: Don't let the fees scare you!
Often times buyers considering a condominium get discouraged by the cost of common fees and focus strictly on buying a house. In some cases, buyers end of with a property that is less than ideal because they didn't take into account all of the facts.

Yes, a condo does have fees. "What are these fees for?" is the important question -- Lawn care, snow removal, trash, water, insurance, etc. These services are costs that you will incur at a private residence as well, just in separate amounts. If you were to add up the costs of the services included in condo common fees for a typical Milford property, you would likely see fees of:

Lawn: $1500 yr; Snow: $300 yr; Water: $400 yr; Insurance: $900 yr; Gutters: $300 yr; Exterior Maintenance: $500 yr = $3,900 year or = $ 325 month

Now, you might save a little if you shovel your own snow and cut your own grass, but remember to account for the cost of the lawn mower, tune-ups, gas, blade sharpening, your time... you get the point. Condo fees are generally quite reasonable, so if you thought they were too expensive, think again.

But wait, there's more!
Now that you can see the fees are reasonable, compare the taxes of a condo with similar sq/ft and listing price to those of a house. You will see dollar for dollar the condo is quite a bit less. As a condo owner, you benefit from the shared space with lower taxes.

Maybe a condo is right for me
If you are a first time buyer(s) or especially active and don’t have much time/need for your own lawn to care for, a condo may offer nicer living amenities than a house, and for less money, too. Condos are also popular with individuals who no longer have large families living at home, and they make sense for retirement living. No matter what your situation is, don't count a condominium out until you've counted up all the facts.
