When purchasing a new home, evaluating the parking situation is essential,  considering your vehicle's size and the available parking types. For larger vehicles like SUVs or trucks,  checking if the garage, street parking, or assigned spaces in condo buildings can comfortably  accommodate your vehicle is crucial. Consider the potential congestion and accessibility issues: garages  offer private and accessible parking, while street parking availability may vary, potentially causing  congestion. Condo underground parking spaces usually mitigate congestion but necessitate adherence  to parking guidelines. 

The parking situation significantly impacts property value and resale prospects. Homes with well-fitted  garages tend to have higher values, while limited street parking might deter future buyers. In condo  complexes, well-sized underground parking spaces contribute positively to unit appeal and resale.  Additionally, varying weather protection and vehicle maintenance factors come into play: garages offer  excellent weather protection and a space for vehicle maintenance, while street-parked vehicles are  exposed to weather-related wear and tear. Condo underground parking provides a climate-controlled  environment that helps preserve vehicle condition. 

Ultimately, it's crucial to consider your vehicle's size, parking availability, potential congestion, property  value impact, and weather protection when evaluating the parking situation in your new home. These  considerations ensure a practical and convenient parking setup that aligns with your lifestyle and needs.
