Buying a condominium in Ottawa is a great way to own your own home, without the price tag that comes with a single family home or townhouse. In many markets across Canada, condominiums are an attractive, lower-cost choice. Especially for first time home buyers, investors, and for those looking to downsize. With the amenities offered that underscore convenience, and monthly fees that cover a wide variety of both monthly expenses and maintenance costs, it is important to find a condo that suits your lifestyle needs. Fortunately, Ottawa has many amazing condominiums dispersed throughout the city, and into many of the surrounding town and country locations for buyers to choose from. Is condo-living right for you?

Here are some things to consider when buying a condo:

• Do you have a down payment?
• What is your budget?
• Have you been pre-approved by a lender?
• What are you looking for in a home?
• Are you looking for a high-rise, low-rise or townhouse style?
• What are the condo fees? What do they cover?

All of these things are important to know before you begin your search, and will help to guide you toward the house that you can make into a home for you and your family.
