Will a one bedroom condo be hard to resell in a few years?

Im looking at a 1 bed 1 bath condo because its what I can afford right now. I probably only stay 4 or 5 years before I need more space. Will a one bedroom be a tough sell when that time comes, or do they usually move ok?

We generally recommend staying for a minimum of 5 years unless you plan on doing significant cosmetic updates to the unit, which will increase your equity position. 5 years in most markets will bring enough appreciation to cover the costs of selling, but it's still very expensive to sell. Don't underestimate that. Condos specifically can be harder to sell in a down market, but only a local real estate expert can advise you on whether the outlook for similar units looks positive or negative.
