Townhomes vs. condos

Sales in the two years to Oct. 27, 2026. The listing’s MLS type decides which is which: a townhome usually has its own entrance and no unit above or below, and a condo is a unit in a shared building.

Reading it right

  • Monthly HOA dues aren’t in the price. Two units at the same price can cost very different amounts to own, so compare dues and what they cover. Our HOA Lab walks through what to ask for.
  • The mix changes. Newer, larger townhomes selling in one year and older condos in another move the medians, even if no single home changed in value.
  • Price per square foot isn’t comparable to a house. A house price includes its whole lot; a condo comes with a share of common land and a townhome usually with a small lot.
  • Small samples swing. Every row shows its sale count.
  • Past prices aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.

How we counted

Closed sales reported to the MLS, read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records removed (one record per MLS number). Condo and townhome follow the listing’s MLS property type; mobile homes, multi-unit buildings and commercial sales are left out. Price per square foot uses sales with a recorded living area between 400 and 20,000 square feet; sale vs. list uses sales with a final list price.
