Hi there,

If the said condo, would be for you and your family to live in, why not? However if you are looking in terms of asset appreciation, and opportunity cost, its a whole different situation.

Some places are still commanding high prices, due to good location with access to infrastructure and amenities, even at the 60-year mark. If you were to commit to a condo, and you are also trying to factor in future value, then you might want to also account for paying a premium for a good location.

Hope i was able to shed some insight!
