Condominiums are a great option for home buyers who want their own space, but don’t necessarily want the upkeep of a yard or other responsibilities associated with a single-family home.  

What Is a Non-Warrantable Condo?  

A warrantable condo is financed through a traditional home mortgage loan. Most of the time, easy-to-sell condos fall under warrantable loans and operate like buying a single-family home.  

There are, however, always outliers to home buying.  

Non-warrantable condos are ineligible to be sold to FHA, Freddie Mac, or Fannie Mae. Because of this, mortgage financing is too risky for most traditional home loans, making lenders reluctant to grant this type of loan for these properties. 

Since there’s a greater risk in purchasing a non-warrantable condo, a larger down payment and higher interest rates are common. Additionally, non-warrantable condos are also harder to sell if you ever want to leave the residence.
