Why Timing Matters for Condos

Condos often have a counter-cyclical market. While families focus on single-family homes during spring and summer, condo inventory can peak in fall and winter. This means less competition and more negotiating power for condo buyers during traditionally "slow" seasons.

Buying a Condo in London: What to Know

Key Considerations

  • Review at least 3 years of HOA meeting minutes for hidden issues
  • Check the reserve fund percentage (ideally 70%+ funded)
  • Verify what insurance the HOA covers vs. what you need
  • Understand rental restrictions if you might rent it out later
  • Review any pending special assessments or litigation

Red Flags to Watch

  • HOA with less than 50% reserves
  • Multiple units for sale in same building (could indicate problems)
  • Pending or recent litigation against the HOA
  • High owner-to-renter ratio (affects financing)
  • Deferred maintenance on common areas
