Murrieta Real Estate Home Types

Before you can look at individual Murrieta homes or even Murrieta neighborhoods you need to decide what kind of home is right for you and your family. Do you want a single family home, a multifamily home, a townhouse, a condo or a co-operative? What about a manufactured home, such as a mobile home or prefabricated home? Is an older home a better option than a new home in a new subdivision? There are many types of Murrieta real estate.

You want to buy a Murrieta home that fits the way you live and meets your needs. Just because a home looks nice does not mean that it will accommodate you and your entire family. It should have spaces and features that work for all family members.

As you answer these questions and consider others relating to your own special circumstances, you will begin to see what type of Murrieta home suits you and your family best. To aid you in your decision making, you can read more in the following sections about the pros and cons of each type of Murrieta home.

Single Family Home

The single family home is the most common type of housing in the United States. Basically, you are buying Murrieta real estate that sits a newly constructed or existing home. The Murrieat home is not attached to any other home or property.

The biggest advantage of a single family home is the privacy and autonomy it provides its owner. You can do whatever you want with your own home, as long as it conforms to Murrieta ordinances and housing codes. You can add on more rooms or tear down sections of the house. You can paint it, side it or redecorate it without any restrictions except those imposed by local housing codes or neighborhood associations. Naturally, personal courtesy requires you to consider your neighbors when you select color schemes or landscape options. But, with few exceptions, you are the owner and have the final authority about what is done to and on your Murrieta real estate.

Along with these privileges, however, comes responsibility. You not only have the sole authority about how your Murrieta home is landscaped but also the sole duty to maintain the landscaping. Furthermore, all repairs and ongoing maintenance fall to you. You cannot call the owner or landlord when a pipe bursts. You are the owner, and all emergencies are yours to resolve. Maintaining a Murrieta real estate can be very time-consuming and expensive. This fact often is overlooked by prospective buyers who only see the advantages of owning their own Murrieta home.

By and large, the advantages of owning a Murrieta real estate do outweigh the responsibilities. Privacy, space and tax breaks are strong incentives for owning a home. Perhaps even more important is the pride of ownership, which cannot be measured in tangible terms but which may be the most compelling incentive of all.
