[quote=FlyerInHi]I just saw a 2000sf condo. That would be fine for a family.
Why is a house a necessity if you have kids? I’m enjoying condo living and never want a house again.
I wish they’d build more condos. Mid to high rises over 4 stories so they are solid concrete and steel. I think in Irvine and Carmel Valley, the Asians and tech workers would buy them up like hot cakes.[/quote]
Buying a 2000 sqft attached home in a given area might not me that much more affordable than an sfh. It depends on what the hoa will be. For example, if a condos hoa ends up being $400/month, that would be equivalent to borrowing more on a 30year with monthly payments being $400 more.
