A Single Family Home is a residential property in which the building is maintained and used as a single dwelling unit. Most single family homes also include a yard or garden.
Montreal's growing and changing market has also pushed up the growth of single family homes as a viable investment. Unlike condos, single family homes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of buying a single family home:
