[quote=Pbranding][quote=sdrealtor]As someone living in a community with a large and amazing HOA this couldnt be more wrong. My HOA adds tons of value to my and many neighbors lives.[/quote]
Sdr sounds like you get a lot for your 100/month and in your situation I agree but 600/month for no pool, no gate, and the trails are open to anyone? I think that’s harder to swallow and I think it will discourage would be buyers in the future when it’s not shiny and new.[/quote]
Yes I agree we get a lot and are probably on the far end of that. Our parks and traisl are not restricted nor is there a gate. A decade or so ago we dedicated the trails to become part of the Carlsbad trail system. The city now maintains them for us in return for us opening them to public though they always kinda were anyway. It saves us some money and they can include us on their trail maps.
Just pointing out that an HOA does not automatically devalue a property. As for the one you are describing how it impacts it in the future depends upon market conditions. In a buyers market it could be a significant drag. In a sellers market it gets larely ignored.
