When purchasing a home, you should consider how your investment will appreciate over time. Homeowner’s associations (HOAs) are often seen as a valuable asset as they play an important role in maintaining and increasing property values. Here are the reasons why:
- Establishing a desirable community HOAs encourage a sense of community and shared responsibility by providing amenities such as community pools and tennis courts. This creates a collaborative environment that can be a major lure for potential purchasers, thus increasing the property value of properties in the HOA.
- Enhances the entire neighborhood to ensure that homes are well-maintained and the surroundings are visually appealing. This commitment to maintaining a high standard of living contributes to a more attractive neighborhood, positively impacting property values.
- Collective maintenance efforts with the HOA (like exterior maintenance care) help homeowners have more time and resources to devote to improving the home interiors. This collaborative effort to maintain the overall charm of the neighborhood immediately leads to rising property values.
- HOAs provide a safety net by offering emergency services, which can mitigate potential property damage and preserve the value of homes in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
- HOAs enforce rules and regulations to maintain a certain image of the community, which helps to preserve and increase property values. These rules promote a unified and harmonious living environment, which enhances the neighborhood’s appeal.
- Research conducted at George Mason University has shown that homes within HOA communities tend to sell for about 5% to 6% higher than those not within an HOA. This empirical evidence underscores the positive impact of HOAs on property values.
Homeowners now are making a strategic investment in the long-term value of their property since the collective efforts of the HOA contribute to maintaining the beauty and desirability of the neighborhood, making it an attractive prospect for prospective buyers and ultimately driving property values higher.
