Before you look for a new condo or kick off your property search, it is important to check if it is really the right time for you to buy. Even though there are various condo deals and options available, you have to evaluate first your personal finances as well as any changes that may come along the way before you even make a decision.
Moreover, take a look at your financial situation and the property’s monthly amortization in order for you to gauge if you could really afford to purchase a condo property at this time. This way, you could also be able to assess the price range of the condo you are willing to spend on.
2. Identify the factors you are looking for in a condo property

Keep these things in mind as you zero in on your buying criteria.
