Condo Company - The Online Marketplace For Condos

CondoCompany.com was the first worldwide database of condos on the Internet. The site has evolved over the years, originally it served as a site for a full real estate brokerage that focused mainly on condos for sale called The Condo Company Inc. The site is now under new management and has turned into an online market place for buyers, sellers, owners, and more to research and evaluate the condo real estate markets around the world. Particularly in the United States the condo market has seen it’s ups and downs over the last 20+ years, hitting a high point in the late 90s to early 2000s. During this time there was considerable over development of condos in many cities particularly in Florida and other vacation destinations.

When the real estate market collapsed the condominium market was hit particularly hard because of this over development. We imagine the market will continue to fluctuate, maybe drastically, in years to come. The good news is these fluctuations allow for buyers and sellers to capitalize on sales by trying to time these fluctuations. Right now there still seems to be an abundance of condos on the market, particular in cities where there was over development like Miami Beach (really all of Florida), Boston, Atlanta, and many more. There is still a large rate of foreclosures on condominiums in these markets which could potentially be an opportunity for buyers that can get in now at a low cost. Of course there is plenty of risk for further depreciation so this is by no means advice on whether to buy or sell, simply a statement of the current fluctuations in various markets. Our site primarily focuses on condo buildings themselves versus individual condo units or listings.
