Two reasons I hear most for this:

1) They don't appreciate like houses do (and depreciate faster than houses do).

2) A lot of "condos" are converted apartment buildings. This sucks because the construction is much worse (hardly any sound dampening, etc.).

#1 is circular: they don't appreciate because people don't like them. People don't like them because people like the space a house and yard gives you.
