You’re paying for over priced security and building maintenance stuff that you would never have to do to a house. Like power wash a massive garage.

I just redid my roof for $40,000. That’s about 5 years of your maintenance fees. Houses cost a ton to maintain.

To remind you that you don’t really own the condo. They gave you a space up in the air

It’s for the reserve fund - trust me as an ex property manager - any and all issues, fixes etc for the building come from the condo owners - special assessments are common and can run into the thousands without the reserve fund you could be looking at $30,000 plus for a special assessment. Condo fees are insurance

Condo fees I agree are high, but they pay for your water, Electrical, heating/cooling, monthly maintenance ( elevator cameras cooling tower) security and staff. also some should be put aside for future upgrades. So if your building is not upgrading or doing things to improve living conditions, then you pay too much

Buy a house. Cut your own lawn. Remove your own snow. Build your own fence, shingles, windows, asphalt, side walks, flower beds, etc etc. it’s a deal that makes sence

Sorry to surprise you, but I lived in a condo and I live in a house now I sold my condo and I bought a house. I finally broke down the fees of the condo and the fees of the house. The fees are the same. You have to pay the monthly bills in your house. You have to pay property taxes. You have to pay insurance. It is the same wake up and smell the coffee.

I’ve just sold my home and calculated the cost of maintenance over the last 25 years. I’ve put out approximately $20k (roof, water tanks, furnace, AC). Condo fees continue to rise over the years. I have friends who pay $700-$1,200 per month. On average that’s an additional $300k they’ve paid during the same time frame. It’s absolute crazy.

HeyRed🌺 :
That covers my heat and water also plus I don’t have to mow my lawn. I don’t have to shovel. I don’t have to clean the underground parking. I don’t have to do anything but come home.

I agree. Condo fees are through the roof and are profit driven, not maintenance driven. Maintenance is the excuse. But if they really need to fix something in the building, they come back to you for more money.

I would never buy a condo never have never will, or a town house with condo fees, where they use slick terms like common area maintenance fee and all kinds hidden terms.

paying people to maintain something for you is normal. landscaping, snowblowing, cleaning, etc. hire someone to do everything around your house and you'll pay more than $700 a month.

my 3bdrm condo maintenance over 10 years was A LOT higher than my detached house that is more than twice as large. Its a myth that the house will end up costing the same as the condo to maintain.
