How are second hand/resale condos better?

Over the past several decades, there are limited options for types of residential places in the city in a good location, as most of them would be condominiums. Resale condominiums are as popular as pre-constructed/first hand condominiums, and we, BR Agents, will show you their advantages . Let’s take a look at what they are. 

See the units in person (without the fear of being deceived)

One thing that distinguishes first-hand and second-hand condominiums would be the ability to visit and see the physical place before the purchase. You can observe the building structures, the atmosphere, and surrounding areas before. And with many first hand condos, they are purchased before construction has started or before has been completed. These factors may be hard to predict without experiencing it yourself. Especially with condominiums for rent, there are other factors to take into consideration when buying. You need to consider the location, facilities, the environment and atmosphere of the project, and even for residential purposes, it’s usually best to be able to see the actual place first, to see if you’ll actually be interested in it. There are always more options available to see. 

Condominiums are popping up like crazy nowadays. It is becoming much harder for new projects to find land, and most often they’re getting farther away from the train stations and public transportations. Of course, the projects that are near the train stations and public transportation have such high prices. With second-hand/resale condominiums, due to more land availability at the time they were being built, they have a higher chance of being located in a better area, at a cheaper price. They can be approximately 20-30% cheaper than first hand/pre-constructed condominiums within the same area. 

The advantage of a second-hand/resale condominium is the size of the units. Imagine staying at home during the weekend or during the holidays. You wouldn’t want to feel suffocated or claustrophobic in a tight space, right? If you have sufficient amount of space, it has an effect on your happiness levels in life. For second-hand/resale condos that are over 5 years old, studio and 1-bedroom units are often around 30-40 sq.m, but with newer projects, it usually starts from 21-25 sq.m.

Some resale condominiums come unfurnished, making it much easier to refurbish than new condominiums. Many people wouldn’t want to renovate a new condominium, or make drastic changes, when compared to an older condominium or unit. Second-hand/resale condos are perfect for people who are looking to decorate and refurbish condominiums to their liking, and be able to have a beautiful room at a more affordable price. The ability to easily renovate is not something most people think about when they see resale condos, but they have a lot of potential. It is important to be aware of all these factors during the decision making process, in order to find the best condominium for you, as well as eliminate any problems or hassle.
