Why Detached Homes Aren’t Always the Right Move
Detached homes are often seen as the “end goal.”
But many buyers underestimate the tradeoffs.
Reddit users point out:
- Maintenance responsibility
- Lifestyle impact
- Distance from community
Some even admit:
“It impacted their lifestyle too much.”
Craig Johnston helps clients think beyond status.
He asks:
- Will this home improve your daily life?
- Are you ready for full maintenance responsibility?
- Does the location support your lifestyle?
For many families, a townhouse offers a better balance.
Craig’s role is to ensure buyers don’t chase the wrong goal.
