Seems like a waste of money, a glorified way to rent, a way for a developer to make a bunch of money. But is there really a reason to buy a condo? Well, let's take a look.
One key point is ownership. Ownership gives you the right to change as you wish, to renovate and decorate. Landlords get a little upset if you take out a wall, or paint some custom colors, or put holes in the walls for your pictures. A condo allows you to do anything you want (as long as you don't make it unsafe) without fear of the landlord inspecting and evicting you with a huge damage bill.
So to answer my questin of who buys a condo? Its independant people. People that want the benefits of low exterior maintenance with the independance of not being told what to do with the interior. It doesn't matter if you are young, old, or in-between, its a matter of not being told what you can do once you close the front door behind you after a stressful day.
Additionally, its about roots. You are establishing roots in a community of people like you, free-thinkers, who don't want to move every time the property complex is sold and the rent adjusted. Its annoying to see moving vans in the parking lots every Saturday morning and the constant turnover of meeting your neighbors on a continuing basis.
So who buys a condo? Independant, free thinking individual who want roots and stability with the joy of limited or no outside maintenance. What about you?
