Condo, Townhouse or Single Family Home, which is best for you?
There are pros and cons to all types of housing. How can you know which one is the best for you?
Here are some things to consider…
Condo
If you are looking for the most hands-off approach to home ownership, a condo apartment or townhouse might be your best option. Common areas are owned collectively and are maintained by building management for which you pay monthly condo fees. Condos apartments are more affordable than freehold townhouses and single-family homes.
Freehold Townhouse
A freehold townhouse is a great idea for people looking for a multilevel property with a front and back yard but not the space, commitment and investment of a single family home
Single Family Home
Detached, freehold homes provide the most freedom and privacy to a homeowner. Homes can range from a very small bungalows to massive mansions. Single family homes are great for pets, children and entertaining.

So the average price at the end of the year for two bedroom condo townhouses in Kitchener-Waterloo Market as a whole was that. Let’s take a look at new listings over the year. In March we are we were climbing of course in April we fell and then we hit a peak of new listings in September with a hundred and twenty one and then the number of new listings dropped and dropped and dropped ending out to December 2020 with only 34 new listings in that month.
Of course the number of homes for sale also fell starting in June and at the end of the December we had 29 homes for sale. Not a lot.
