If I buy a condo in a building, will I be paying insurance, taxes and maintenance, utilities etc.?
Even though, it’s only a condo, not the whole building? And like how much, compared to paying for single family houses or multi.
What you are responsible for paying varies from building to building.
In my complex, the Homeowners Association maintains the outside of the units and common areas, water, sewer, garbage. For this, we pay a monthly fee of $297. While the HOA has insurance to cover what they are responsible for, any insurance to cover the inside is the responsibility of the owner. Property taxes are also the responsibility of the owner-as are gas, electric, phone and cable.
To compare the two-I believe that there is a trade-off. A condo is less up keep to you personally since you only need to maintain the inside. For a fee, the outside is taken care of your you. There is probably less privacy in a condo, since your neighbors often share common walls.
While if you own a house, you must maintain all aspects both inside and out. The costs of which come solely out of your pocket. There is usually more privacy, since there is usually open space between houses and yards, etc.
Taxes and utilities are usually less in a condo because they are smaller and cost less to heat and build. But condo’s historically do not gain appreciation as quickly as a single family home.
