How do you choose between condos and single-family homes?
By Colin Frangos, Thursday, February 21, 2008.Using appreciation as a measure, condominiums in some areas have been as profitable an investment as single-family homes in the past five years. And in some markets, condos appreciated even more, according to some experts.
