We like a new construction townhouse (~2000ft 3br/2.5bth) in a pretty good
school district. The list price is 214,900. My agent and I tried to
negotiate the price with the builder, but builder says it is non-negotiable.
The list price was lowered for $5000 compared with July 2009. It has pretty
high ($240) association fee.
In our area, a new single family house is around 300k.
Should I buy this townhouse at their list price?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions! | A*P 发帖数: 248 | 2 Considering $240 HOA fee, why not buying a SFH? | v********d 发帖数: 618 | 3 Agree! I would buy a single family house.
For a house or townhouse to appreciate, it is the land, not the structure,
to appreciate.
$240 HOA means $50K in house price.
If you make 70K, then you can roughly get a loan of $280K, with some
downpayment, you can for sure buy a single family house.
