Buyer Beware: Buying presale or resale condominiums -Jewish Seniors Alliance Magazine

The Jewish Seniors Alliance https://jsalliance.org/ provides a range of services for Jewish and non-Jewish members of our community. I joined the Board of Directors a number of years ago, in part because the organization gave my late father a great deal of joy. Three times a year, JSA publishes Senior Line, a most impressive magazine, and since I can no longer write for the Vancouver Courier (No Rachel, I wasn't fired. The paper folded!) I enjoy writing a column about urban issues and housing in each issue.

Dolores Luber, the Editor-in-Chief often suggests topics I should write about. Since many seniors are contemplating a move from their home of many years to a condominium, she thought an article on what to consider when buying a condominium might be of interest to many readers. She was right.

Earlier this month, the magazine arrived in members' homes and I have received quite a few comments. Most have been positive and several people told me they wished they had read my article before they bought their condominium. So here is the article as it appeared in the magazine, along with a link to the magazine. My article appears on pages 44 and 45, yes, near the end!
