Betond the fees...what does the HOA do or pay for....or is it an outside management company that collects dues and doesn't do much at all...?

Hi Jeff... I would say that easily 99% of my sales are in HOA communities. Don't know the overall ratio in the Charlotte metro area, but it's very rare I show a home in a non-HOA neighborhood.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson  - good question. The HOA normally seems to be in charge of setting policies, rules (and enforcing them) and making decisions that impact the community - improvements, new assessments, etc. I suspect it varies quite a bit from HOA to HOA.

Thank you Gita Bantwal 

Hi Gabe Sanders  I appreciate your stopping by.

Hey Will Hamm  - the issue of HOAs is a big one for many, with strong opinions sometimes on both sides.

Hi Nina Hollander 

So interesting how different real estate can be. We had no HOAs I was aware of back in Boston, except ccondo communities, but they are pretty popular here. I actually sell, and list, a fair number of non-HOA homes. And I always ask buyers because it is such a hot topic, and a financial one!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

HOAs can help ensure a neighborhood stays neat and tidy, but its important for buyers to really understand all that's expected - and the culture of the Board. :) . You are the one to help them out in your market Jeff.

HOAs can be such a hot-button topic! People here either love them or hate them!

That's very sound advice Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD  There are plenty of advantages, but not HOAs are the same in terms of rules, how they are run, etc. It's a big part of a buyers due diligence when buying a condo or a house in an HOA.

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS 

I would say the same is true here. There don't seen to be neutral opinions on HOAs, and the reviews are mixed.
