Home Type

ingle-family detached homes are the most
popular choice of Canadian homeowners, but
aspiring first-time buyers should consider all
their options before starting their hunt for a home.
Don't overlook what could turn out to be the best
option for your family—you may be surprised by what's
out there, at or below your budget.
According to statistics Canada, over half (55 per
cent) of Canadian households occupy the classic
single-family detached house. While condominiums are
a distant second with roughly a quarter of homeowners
opting for them, they are significantly more popular in
big metro areas like toronto and Vancouver. rounding
out the homeowner choices at 17.8 per cent are other
housing options like row houses, semi-detached
houses, mobile or modular homes, and other single-
attached dwellings such as urban infill homes.
What starter home is right for you? read on for a
look at the most common (and lesser known) home
types. Consider all your options, so you can maximize
your opportunity to find the perfect dwelling to call
home sweet home.
