What to Know About Buying a Home in an HOA

July 12, 2021 by Danielle Edwards

HOA Community Charlotte

Thinking of Buying a Home with an HOA: Homeowners Association?

If you’re considering buying a home in an HOA (Homeowners Association), it’s important to know the details before making your decision. In Charlotte, NC, HOAs are common, and while they can protect the value of your property, an uninformed buyer could make a big mistake. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of HOA communities will help you make a more informed choice.

What Is an HOA?

A homeowners association (HOA) is an organization that manages and regulates residential communities. By purchasing a home within an HOA, you agree to comply with the association’s rules and regulations, which could range from maintaining the appearance of your home to restrictions on property modifications.

What Types of Properties Have HOAs?

  • Single-family homes
  • Townhomes
  • Condominiums

What Are the Different Types of HOAs?

  • Voluntary HOA: Homeowners can choose whether to join.
  • Mandatory HOA: Every homeowner must be a member and adhere to the rules.
  • Optional HOA: Offers services to homeowners without mandatory participation.

Important HOA Considerations

Before you make an offer on a home with an HOA, consider these key questions:

  • Is there an architectural committee or review process?
  • Are there rules or regulations that might affect your lifestyle?
  • Are there any upcoming assessments?
  • What does the HOA cover for exterior maintenance?
  • Can you review the HOA’s financials?
  • When were major community updates (like the roof, pool, siding) last completed?
  • Are there restrictions on home-based businesses or commercial vehicles?
  • Are there limitations on cosmetic changes to your home, such as painting or adding a shed?
  • What about holiday decorations?

HOA Charlotte Community

Why Your Realtor Should Help You Navigate HOA Communities

Your Realtor® should provide you with the HOA documents before you make an offer. It’s also helpful to talk to neighbors for their perspective. Living in a Charlotte HOA can protect the integrity of your investment, but if you prefer flexibility over restrictions, it’s worth considering whether an HOA is right for you.

May 23, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

Apps to Help Sell or Buy a Charlotte Home

With the guidance from your Charlotte Real Estate agent and some of these helpful apps, you’ll sell or buy a Charlotte home with ease!

May 23, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Apps for Selling

MagicPlan

Together, we can create a floor plan just by snapping photos. MagicPlan works by taking photos as you walk around your house and will map out each room, creating a quality floor plan. We can add this to the listing online, or send it to potential buyers.

Apps to Sell or Buy your Charlotte Home

Hammerpoint

Sometimes, upgrading your home is a great investment and will help you sell your Charlotte home faster. Hammerpoint can provide us with detailed estimates on how much an upgrade project will cost in Charlotte. This will help us make a decision to move forward with an upgrade–or not, before signing a contract.

HomeSnap

Using HomeSnap, we can take a photo of other homes in your Charlotte neighborhood and the app will provide us with estimated values, interior photos, lot boundaries, and taxes. This app works for almost every property in the US.

Apps to Sell or Buy your Charlotte Home

Apps for buying

House Hunter

If you find it difficult to make a decision on your next Charlotte home just based on a “pros and cons” list, then this app is perfect for you. House Hunter uses a unique scoring method to help you choose your favorite house by personalizing and prioritizing your list of needs and wants in a Charlotte home.

Apps to Sell or Buy your Charlotte Home

Around Me

This app speaks for itself. Around Me shows you the nearest banks, grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants around the Charlotte home you’re considering and exactly how far away they are. This will help you map out convenient routes to and from work, or learn whether or not you can stop at the grocery story on the way home from school with the kids without going out of your way.

Wikihood

If your neighborhood is in the Wikihood database, you can find some interesting information about the neighborhood culture, history, and local businesses.

As a Charlotte Real Estate Agent, of course I can tell you the best shops and restaurants near your home, information about your neighborhood, or help you make a decision on which house is a great fit for you. These apps will help us reinforce each decision in the selling or buying process, and will give you peace of mind as you learn more about your own home, your dream home, and what you want in a home.
