Price is the ultimate equalizer when it comes to second home properties
#1) What the prior owner liked you might not like
#2) Many properties in your price range share similar floor plans.

So if the comparison can’t be made from the outside what are we left with to determine which property meets our needs and objectives?
Interior design, location within the complex, view, proximity to the amenities, and relative density compared to the alternative offerings.

You can take into account the cost of upgrading the interior compared to an updated version of the same plan. You can decide if you can live with road noise or if you’d pay more for the waterfront location, and in some locations terrain and building code changes can effect the number of condos/ homes allowed to be built per acre.

My advice is to prioritize your wants and deduct the negatives to arrive at the best available alternative. Price can narrow the field but it can’t be the only factor.
