Advice on a single-family home or whatever else would be welcome as well. And what expenses you might incur living alone. Open to any other generic advice as well

In my particular situation, I'm a young person (26) interested in a condo. I'm not very handy and don't think any of the typical home maintenance stuff is fun. I like the idea of the price of home maintenance things being absorbed into condo fees. I like living small as well when possible.

Some particulars about my income and savings:

Monthly take home of $3350 ($60800 gross as a data analyst, up from $38k and $48k over 3 years), I figure roughly $800 a month in mortgage payment / condo fees is the right range.

$53000 in savings, not invested (because I want to use this for a down payment) $17000 in IRA retirement savings. I'm blessed with no school debt because of scholarships, and no other debts.

I've been able to save over the last 3 years since I got out of school by living with my parents (the go-to reason nowadays I guess). Pretty much don't pay for anything but gas. My parents were adamant about me saving while I can.

I'm eager to launch my financial independence, but am entirely new to the process of buying a home, and want to avoid any pitfalls / red flags.
