Ownership Definitions
Single Family Homes
Single family homes remain the popular choice. Location,
size of the home and lot, and amenities affect the price.
Condominiums
In the case of condominiums, the buyer owns his or her individual
unit and a percentage of the remaining real property, land
and amenities. Unit owners belong to a homeowners' association
which charges monthly fees for the maintenance of common
property.
Townhomes
In the case of townhomes, the buyer owns his or her individual
unit and the ground under that unit. Each townhome has its
own roof. Townhome owners may also belong to a homeowners'
association for maintenance of common areas and amenities.
Duplexes
Duplexes typically consist of two dwelling units constructed
as a single building. The buyer can live in one unit and
rent out the other unit.
