CondoQuest to showcase maintenance free living in Columbus

Car sign

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the spring of 2003 The Building Industry Association of Central Ohio rolled out the first ever CondoQuest.  With 25 Builders and 50 furnished models at a variety of sites, consumers were able to get a great overview of condominium living which has taken over a large share of our housing market.

With shifting demographics over the last several years, the concept of maintenance free living appeals to a range of Buyers looking for convenience and flexibility.

For years the BIA has annually showcased luxury homes through the organization’s Parade of Homes.  This event is typically held at a single location in one of the area’s newer premium subdivisions.  CondoQuest differs in that the sites are scattered offering a wide range of locations, amenities and pricing.

This year’s CondoQuest will feature 19 Builders in locations throughout the city.  Loads of furnished models will be available to tour with staff available to address questions about the specific communities or condominium living in general.  For more information about the Builders and locations contact us or check out the links below.

I was able to attend the Realtor preview event at the BIA last week and it looks like this will be a great showcase.  The event runs from September 29 through October 7.  Check out the September 29 Columbus Dipatch Tabloid for all of the details or feel free to contact us.

If you think condominium living may be right for you don’t miss CondoQuest 2007.

Condo is NOT a dirty word!

Buying a Condo in Columbus Ohio involved far fewer options 5 years ago than today. 

I recall a Buyer who asked me to show her condos in Northeast Columbus in the $200,000–250,000 range.  At the time there were none.

Condos

Today it is a much different story.  Every corner of Columbus seems to offer a range of condominium living opportunities.  The demographic of the condo Buyer has also changed to include:

  • Empty Nesters
  • First Time Homebuyers
  • Retirees
  • Single Parents with Children
  • Young Professionals

          ………and many others

The beauty of condominium living seems to be convenience which can mean many things to many people.  Just a few of the conveniences that a condo offers are:

  1. Exterior maintenance and lawncare handled by the condo association
  2. On site pools, workout facilities and event centers
  3. Locations designed to fit certain lifestyles such as the young professional working downtown or the empty nester desiring a golf community
  4. Luxury finishes and amenities often out of reach in a single family home
  5. Lifestyle suited to those with busy schedules or  frequent travelers

The Columbus Condominium market offers properties beginning under $50,000 and rising to well over $1,000,000.  Finding the right fit for you just takes some thought and research. 

A good real estate professional can help you establish a price range that makes sense, narrow down your areas of interest and then expose you to the properties available that fit your criteria.  Today there is lots of new construction as well as re-sale inventory.  Your needs and objectives will help determine which makes sense for you.

Over the years many have believed condos are not as good an investment as single family homes.  When considering which is right for you be sure to look at the whole picture. 

Get some advice on the market. Visit or drive by some communities to see which offer the amenities you desire. 

Most importantly, remember the benefits of the maintenance free lifestyle are hard to put a price tag on and may well be just what you are looking for!
