Do HOA fees increase?

I’m in the market for a condo in New York and some of the HOA fees are pretty steep. I can pay $700 a month, but I don’t think I can handle more than that. Do HOA fees increase?

I hear you—no one wants surprise increases in their bills! The fact is, HOA fees increase along with the budget allocated for its various responsibilities. As landscaping fees, contractor fees, and insurance fees increase, your HOA fees increase too.
When it comes to your homeowners association (HOA), an annual budget is allocated for upkeep, repairs, and more depending on your community’s needs. Your HOA fees pay for this.
Expenses may include:
  • Operations and maintenance
  • Paying the bills for recreational facilities
  • Maintaining a parking lot
  • HOA Insurance
You can always request an overview of what’s included and request that the HOA reevaluate or renegotiate existing contracts. Just keep in mind that your HOA has to keep up with the costs of inflation. As maintenance fees increase, your fees will likely increase too. However, your state laws might regulate assessment amounts and fee increases.
In any case, even if you can’t save money on your HOA fees, you might be able to save on your homeowners insurance with insurance broker Jerry.
