Hoa Benefits

In an age of hyper busy lives and an increasing desire to spend more time living a life of quality, time with content, and socializing that promises to nourish, condos are becoming more and more sensible. You are not spending time slaving over a massive lawn, worrying about cleaning rain gutters, checking the fence posts. Your time and your mind is free for the exploration of more exciting things. Yes, mowing a lawn can be a zen experience, and composting is a rich experience, but really, as the hand of time marches on and your time becomes ever more precious, ( and your back ever more fragile) might it be time to consider deferring those responsibilities? If you are a new homeowner, you may not have the benefit of understanding home maintenance. I have seen so many homes devalued due to neglect. A home is a living thing and demands great care. Condos on the other hand, lovely, light on the land, and easy to dwell in.

There is a myth that home owners dues are a negative. Here’s what you would pay out of pocket in a modest size home for water, gas and electric: Depending on your temperature settings, anywhere from $140.00-250.00 a month. You would have to pay for waste collection, which is $40-$100 per month depending on the billing cycle where you are. Having the gutters cleared annually another couple hundred dollars, getting the lint out of your dryer vent, $60.00 annually, and then getting your fireplace free of dangerous build up, another $50.00 annually. Now add a gardener for $60-$200 a month, an exterior paint job every 5-7 years, a new roof every 25-30, siding repairs, tree trimming and insurance. Suddenly $446.00 a month, and having no hassle is looking a lot better isn’t it?
