As well as nailing down a budget and neighbourhood to call home, it’s important to consider what type of home is right for you. Is it a townhouse, a condo or a house?
To answer this question, you may want to enlist a real estate agent who can help you with your search. In the Wasaga Beach area, that agent is DARLENE ANSTEY, a Royal LePage Trinity Realty professional.
Darlene is reputed for her results-driven approach to finding her clients the right home to fit their needs and lifestyle. But before contacting Darlene, ask yourself a few more questions, including:
The purchase price of a condo and a townhouse is generally less than a house. However, the former come with association fees and certain restrictions to account for.
Monthly association fees are paid by each unit owner and typically cover snow and lawn care, trash removal, outdoor maintenance, shared amenities, and more. Restrictions may apply to pets, noise, & parking.
Your stage of life can influence where you should live. However, you also have to consider a home that can accommodate your future needs. If you’re planning to start a family, additional space is necessary. If you’re a soon-to-be empty nester, it’s probably a good time to down-size. If you or your partner are approaching senior status, you may need to consider a home that requires less maintenance.

If you enjoy space, privacy and having exclusive control over decisions that impact your home, you’re probably best suited to living in a house. However, if life is busy enough as it is, and you don’t need the additional maintenance of a house, a condo might be the right fit.
Regardless of what type of home you choose, ownership is a valuable investment. And with help from an experienced realtor like Darlene, you’re on your way to perfect place to call home.
