What's the target market . . .
NOTICE: Our target market has changed !
In the
last few years, our target market was, primarily,
multi-unit residential income properties - apartment
buildings.
Due to a
shift in the attitude of many city councils and planning
departments, they are now invoking moratoriums, more
restrictive requirements and higher fees, on apartment
conversions - they believe conversions reduce their
low-income rental stock.
I am now
seeing a shift, in focus, to office, medical, commercial
& industrial properties, for condo conversion.
If you
own or are looking at this market, you are in luck.
Generally, it is easier and with less mandated
requirements, to do a commercial condo conversion.
Please
feel free use the Contact Form or call me at 909
913-3304, anytime, 7 days a week, to discuss your
project.
With housing prices are out of reach for many first-time
buyers and retirees down-sizing their principle
residence, condos have become these buyer's
choice and has also become the perfect maintenance-free
housing option for those who have retired.
It comes as no surprise that condominiums have become
the most popular form of housing. Condo conversion
caters to the largest market areas and to a worry-free
life style.
This large market segment includes retirees & baby
boomers, first-time buyers and the young professional.
Each segment has its own unique reasons for preferring
to become a condo-dweller.
In fact, the existing tenants often prefer condo
conversions, given that the cost of ownership of their
unit (including their mortgage payment and Home Owners
Association Fee) is usually 25% greater than their
current lease on their apartment. In every instance,
their apartment has been completely renovated and they
have pride of ownership.
-
If your property consists mainly of single
level condominiums, less than 1,000 square feet, your
target markets will most likely be first and last time
buyers.
-
If your property mainly consists of larger
condominium units or are townhouse style, your target
markets will most likely be second and third time
buyers.
However, location and pricing will affect the
normal buyer profile. |
