What type of house is right for us?
For those of you planning to buy a house or condo, the first thing to consider is yourself or the people you'll be living with. Then, think about the location – is it convenient for commuting to work? And is the price within your budget? For example, if you want a house to live with your parents or family, you need a house with enough space for everyone. Or, if you're currently single but planning to get married and have children, you should choose a house suitable for welcoming future little ones. And if you're absolutely certain you'll remain single, and you don't want to worry about maintaining a house, just want all the necessary amenities, then this is for you. We've summarized 6 main types of housing to help you make a decision easier with this short infographic:
