Thinking about buying a condo or townhome in the Bay Area?

Not all condos are created equal — and some could become financial headaches if you don’t know what to watch out for.

In this video, Spencer shares the exact red flags he looks for when helping clients buy in San Jose, Mountain View, San Francisco, and beyond. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or investing — this guide can save you thousands.

🚩 What to Watch Out For:

• Condos with too many amenities = higher long-term costs

• Reserve studies — what they are, and why they matter

• HOA restrictions that limit rentals or Airbnb

• Why flipped condos can be risky

• Appreciation potential: condos vs. single-family homes

• When newer builds near transit are worth the price

📍 Applies to condo buyers all across the Bay Area:

San Jose • Mountain View • Fremont • SF • Santa Clara • and more
