Condos & Townhouses For Sale

Condo Townhouses For Sale In Las Vegas

There used to be many differences between a condominium for sale and a townhouse for sale in Las Vegas. We NOW combine available condo townhouses in searches because the differences are no longer consistent. The biggest difference used to be that in a condominium, you would own the air space but not the exterior of the building.

These days, all of the condos, townhouses, villas, or patio homes can be owned and maintained by the association depending on the development. Property titles will specify the property type and ownership rights and responsibilities The development in the above picture could be any multi-family housing type.

There is a new attached home, multi-family condo townhouse trend among homes for sale in Las Vegas. We just sold a brand new construction condominium with a backyard. It came with a patio cover, cement patio slab, and patio area landscaping. Before that, I was not aware of any condominium for sale with a yard in Las Vegas.

Some patio homes and townhomes for sale in Las Vegas will have associations that provide front yard landscaping maintenance. Other developments will include the roofs, paint, and exterior maintenance for all of the structures. We suggest that you search all of the units in this category and eliminate choices by features and square footage, not property type.

HOA Fees

One of the biggest concerns of both condominium owners and townhouse owners is the homeowners’ association (HOA ) fee. This is frequently higher than for single-family detached houses. One of the biggest reasons is that the HOA normally includes a hazard insurance policy for the structure. Be sure to compare apples to apples.

An owner of a detached single-family home bears this cost. In addition, often the HOA covers some utility costs, even trash removal. It is important to have your insurance agent check your HOA insurance policy to know what your risks are. It’s also important to check your rules and regulations regarding what your HOA fee covers.

Financing Condos and Townhouses

Financing a condominium (not townhouses or patio homes) may be tricky. Sometimes, depending on the condominium complex, financing is completely messed up. It can especially be challenging to get a loan with less than a 10% down payment.

Conventional loans are easier to qualify for especially with a larger down payment. Some condos and townhouses can qualify for FHA or VA financing. Each condo townhouse for sale on the MLS will have what type of financing is acceptable listed on listings.

Fannie Mae, a government entity that buys loans from mortgage companies and banks after they process them, has guidelines. After the financial crisis in 2007-2012, building requirements became strict. The problem lies in the fact that most institutions adopt Fannie Mae guidelines when lending money.

Strategize and Be Prepared When Buying A Home

Condominiums and townhomes need to be in neighborhoods that meet financing requirements. These include things like: 90% of residents must be current on their association fees or financing will not be available.

Another requirement is that X percentage of units in the development are owner-occupied. This can limit which communities someone getting a loan can purchase.

It is best to get pre-approved and have us search for condominiums and townhomes for sale that offer the type of financing you need. These requirements are not applicable at every development.

Townhomes For Sale In Las Vegas Valley

Typically townhomes for sale in Las Vegas will have a garage. Townhouses can be one or multi-story buildings. As opposed to condominiums, with townhouses for sale, listings will usually specify the specific association features. To me, every townhouse community seems unique.

A townhouse can also have a yard in the front and the back or not have one. But to make a townhouse a townhouse, there’ll be at least one wall connected to another building. If you’re not confused yet, there are more options!

The Las Vegas Valley is a part of the Clark County School District. All of Clark County is a part of the Las Vegas Clark County Library District. Schools and libraries in the Las Vegas Valley are newer than 30 years old. The library system in Clark County is one of the best in the entire country.

Patio Homes and Townhouses For Sale In Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, we also have Patio Homes. A Las Vegas patio home is a type of townhouse. It is usually a  single story building with 3 or fewer units connected in a building or row that share at least one wall with another townhouse.

A homeowner is usually responsible for the maintenance of their units. Sometimes, as with townhomes, as part of the HOA dues, the association will maintain the building’s exterior. Patio Homes will have a patio or a patio and yard.

Luxury Golf Villas or a Condo

A golf villa is a fancy name for condo townhouses that are on or near a golf course. I think the term “Villa” means they can charge more money. Golf Villas are typically luxurious with top-of-the-line amenities in the development. Of course, some units will have golf course locations with sprawling golf course views.

Homeowner Associations 

All Las Vegas condo townhouses for sale have an association fee. Each development is different, but the fees usually cover water and trash, gates (guards if applicable), and common areas.

Of course, these fees vary according to amenities offered by a community. We’ve seen association fees as low as $100/mo up to $2400 a month for a luxury high rise penthouse.

In Nevada, there is a state governing office – The Ombudsman Office if there is ever a problem. The Ombudsman Office is run through the Nevada Real Estate Division. We have heard good things about them, so if you need them, there are there.

The 1999 Legislature voted to have a department to assist homeowners. They also guide board members in communities with an association board of directors. 

They assist with complaints by investigating and helping with legal paperwork if necessary. Homeowners in any association actually pay “less than $4.25 a year” to have this department work for them. Fees are often overlooked as they are paid through everyone’s annual property tax bills.

The Ombudsman’s Office regulates how associations are to be run- mainly, they try to keep an association complying with state law and being consistent with homeowners. An association must treat all residents equally.
