Condos for Sale in Los Angeles

If your version of the American dream doesn't include mowing the lawn, think about buying a condo. There are so many great condos for sale in Los Angeles. They are great options for both first-time home buyers and older folks who are ready to downsize, condos are typically smaller and less expensive than a single family home, and can include attractive amenities as part of a home owners association (HOA), such as pools and fitness facilities. It's time to learn about pluses and the minuses, remember this is a buyers market and there are plenty of Condos for sale in your area,

 Step1

Think about how long you're going to stay in one place. Buying a condo is no different than buying a single-family home--you need to live there at least a couple of years to recoup closing costs, assuming the property will appreciate.

Step2

Give some thought to what you want. If you're not interested in the pool or sauna, understand that the condo's price and ongoing monthly association fees will reflect their use regardless of your interest in swimming or sweating.

Step3

Visit various condominium or townhouse communities and multiunit buildings so you know what's available where you live. Get a sense of prevailing prices.

Step4

Request a market analysis from a real estate agent regarding the selling prices of condos for sale in the building or area. Check the price appreciation on the market analysis to evaluate how quickly the condos for sale are increasing in value; subtract the selling price from the purchase price and divide by the number of years the property has been held by the previous owner for a ballpark estimate of annual appreciation, if any (varies from state to state and place to place), in the neighborhood.

Step5

Get prequalified for a mortgage (see How to Shop for a Mortgage)
