Around home and looking ahead
Condo, co-op and townhouse focus
Compare the full monthly cost before comparing asking prices. Request association or maintenance charges, current budgets, reserves, insurance information, assessments, rental rules and purchase requirements. Review the documents with appropriate professionals before committing.
Selling this fall
Compare your property with competing listings and recent closed sales in the same community. Prepare fee schedules and association documents early. Address lighting, clutter and needed repairs before photography.
Buying with a clear budget
Include taxes, insurance, association or maintenance charges and financing in your monthly budget. Compare ownership requirements across communities. County and city medians offer context. Recent comparable sales guide a specific purchase.
October home checklist
Schedule air-conditioning service, clear drainage areas and check exterior lighting. Review storm supplies and arrange property checks while you are away. In a managed building, confirm which tasks belong to management.
New Jersey and Florida relocation
