Types of Homes - Learning Real Estate Terms
Yay, big day today - 3 months of blogging, everyday! This really does keep you organized and allows to evaluate what was accomplished. I discovered a strange thing - I am getting a lot of questions about real basics, so introducing new topic - Learning Real Estate Terms. Rolling today into Types of Homes
1. Single-family detached home: Free-standing home for one family, not attached to a house on either side
"A single detached dwelling contains only one dwelling unit and is completely separated by open space on all sides from any other structure, except its own garage or shed. ” --Statistics Canada
2. Single-family semi-detached home: Home for one family, attached to another building on one side.
3. Row house: Also called a townhouse, a row house is one unit of several similar single-family homes, side-by-side, joined by common walls.
4. Stacked townhouse: Two two-story homes are stacked one on top of the other. The buildings are usually attached in groups of four or more. Each unit has direct access from the outside.
5. Mobile home: These are built in factories, and then taken to the place where they will be occupied. While these homes are usually placed in one location and left there permanently, they do retain the ability to be moved.
6. Modular home: A factory-built, single-family home. The home is typically shipped to a location in two, or more, sections (or modules).
7. Duplex: A duplex is a building containing two single-family homes, located one above the other.
8. Link home: A link, or carriage home, is joined by a garage or carport.
