[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]once i milk dc for free preK I'm going to buy one of the houses up in this Pleasantville ass development

hopefully prices in half a dozen years don't make me regret not buying more[/quote]

In six years, everyone who bought into this development will be terribly underwater. Only in this manic market would people buy SFHs at $2.2 million or more, with an insane HOA fee on top, in the middle of nothing with a terrible commute to the jobs that they'll have to go in everyday to.[/quote]

What are they HOA fees?  It is kind of nice that they have a pool on site.  I wonder if the pool will solely be recreational or will have some of the benefits that a pool club might have- summer swim team, etc.  I noticed in this area it is common to join a pool club but will this pool replace that need?[/quote]

Someone on this board reported $400/month. Just remember that is the teaser amount that the builder is using to lure people in. [/quote]

For any HOA/Condo, in the documents, the developer has to show a budget estimate, usually 10 years as to why the HOA fees are being estimated that way.

It's interesting, I've heard plenty of stories of [b]condo/HOA fees for new construction ending up higher than the estimates after the developer is out of the picture, but never one where the fees end up lower.[/quote][/b]

You misunderstood what I said. When you compare Condo fees to HOA fees, Condo fees will be higher and go up more due to what has to be covered in the assessment. Most likely the HOA fees will go up but not to the same degree as a Condo assessment. If trash costs go up, that would be a reason why the HOA fees would go up. [/quote]
