Homeowners association fees have risen nearly 30 percent since before the COVID-19 pandemic, making it even more difficult for Americans to afford homeownership, according to a report.
Since 2019, the median monthly condo fee has gone up 29 percent, rising to $420 in 2025. During that same period, median HOA fees for single-family homeowners increased 26 percent, reaching $63 last year, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing Realtor.com data.
