Condo fees and ownership costs
In addition to mortgage payments and property taxes, condominium ownership includes condo fees that help maintain common areas and shared amenities. Understanding these ongoing costs is an important part of evaluating any condominium purchase.
Reserve funds and special assessments
Condominium corporations maintain reserve funds for major repairs and future capital projects. Buyers should understand the financial health of a condominium corporation and whether special assessments may be anticipated.
Condominium bylaws matter
Every condominium corporation operates under its own bylaws and rules. Restrictions relating to pets, rentals, renovations, parking, and common property can significantly affect ownership. Reviewing condominium documents before closing helps buyers understand what they are purchasing.
