An Experienced Team of Real Estate Agents

Find Your New Townhome in Fort Collins

For many people, the idea of owning a townhome or condominium is much more appealing than owning a single-family house. They enjoy the community that is found in a townhome development, and the layout and square footage of their home is ideal for their lifestyle. They may be a single working professional, or a newly-married couple that's waiting to start a family, but whatever the case may be, Windermere Real Estate can help them find the perfect townhome or condo in Fort Collins.

Our realtors are experts at finding attached homes that fit a certain person's or couple's needs. If they enjoy entertaining guests, the focus may be on a spacious kitchen and dining room, and we can pinpoint properties that fit those criteria. If having out-of-town guests stay over is important, we'll find a townhome with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. If a person travels for work most of the year, we can narrow the search to smaller condos that are spacious enough to be comfortable, but not overly large as to be too much for one person to maintain. We know that you don't want to find a home, but a place that you can call your home.

If you're searching for townhomes in Fort Collins, please contact us right away. You can reach us by email at fortcollins@windermere.com, or call us at (970) 323-3015. A realty professional will help you with everything from finding the perfect neighborhood to setting up showings. Before you know it, you'll be settling into your new townhome!

Are You a First-Time Homebuyer?

Every year, as students graduate from collegeFirst-Time Homebuyer in Loveland or couples get married, the housing market sees an influx of first-time homebuyers. Depending on the market they're in, these homebuyers will either have an easy time finding the perfect house, or they'll be faced with the challenge of competing for optimum properties with other first-time buyers. At Windermere Real Estate, we've helped many newlyweds and recent graduates find the ideal home in Northern Colorado. Loveland can be a competitive market, but we know how to help you find the best house at the best price.

First-time homebuyers can be eligible for certain credits or mortgage rates, and we'll help you understand all of your financing options.

Our agents will help you navigate the home-buying process and answer any questions you have about budget, listings, or timeframe for closing on a property.

What Age Should I Be Before Buying a House?

At Windermere Real Estate in Fort Collins, we've encountered this question quite a few times. Recent college graduates or newlyweds that are ready to become more independent often wonder if they're old enough to be homeowners. While there's no way to set an exact age when you're ready to buy a home, there are a couple of questions to consider that can help with your decision.

The first question is, "Am I going to stay put for at least a few years?" If you're wanting to travel and see the world, or you know you'll be gone for work most of the time, it might make more sense to continue renting for a few years. If you and your spouse know that you're ready to settle down and start a family, or that you'll at least be in Northern Colorado for the foreseeable future, looking at homes to buy may be a good option.

The second question is, "Will I have regular pay increases at my job?" If you're able to save for a down payment, and continue working while you pay off your mortgage, it can make sense to buy a home now rather than later. What will also help is if there is room for advancement at your current job. If you can receive regular raises while your mortgage payment stays the same, you'll be able to stay on top of your finances and not have to worry about falling behind on paying off your new home.

Windermere is here to answer all of your real estate questions, no matter what they are. If you feel that you're ready to buy a home in the Fort Collins area, contact us today!

If you're moving to the Greeley area in order to start a new job, we can help you find the perfect house in an area that you'll love calling home.
