Halifax Condominiums (condos): Condos can be found throughout the
city of Halifax. Prices of condos range from $70,000 to $450,000.
The more expensive condos for sale are found Halifax Peninsula South
and along either Halifax's or Dartmouth's waterfronts. The average
condo price is about $175,000. Owner has a deed for unit, has a separate
mortgage, pays property tax on the unit plus a percentage of the common
areas and pays a monthly maintenance fee. A board of directors governs
the complex with the owner having one vote. The condo owner has a
fee simple absolute unrestricted ownership and is individually responsible
for property taxes and maintenance fees. Use the sales price of condominiums
with similar size, appeal, age, neighbourhood in Halifax, incurring
similar maintenance fees, etc. to determine market value. Ask owners
in the complex what they like and dislike about both the unit and
the complex. How good is the sound proofing? End units and upper units
generally sell for more when sound comes into play. How is its location
in the complex? Is it near downtown Halifax or will you have to commute?
Next to an access street, parking facility, pool? Look for units that
are not adversely affected by these. Stay away from predominantly
rental condo complexes in Halifax, those having more occupants that
are renters. They are often poorly maintained as absentee owners usually
vote against improvements and increases in maintenance fees. When
buying condos in Halifax, it is always good to ask lots of questions.
