Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

The HOA documents that matter when buying a condo.

Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.

Why It Matters

Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.

3.2

Why due-diligence periods are getting shorter — and what survives the squeeze.

In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.

Why It Matters

Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.

3.3

When and how to appeal a property tax assessment.

Most UT jurisdictions allow appeals in a narrow annual window after assessments mail. The strongest appeals lead with three comparable sales from within 6 months and a half-mile radius, and explicitly address why the subject differs from the assessor's comp set — typically condition, location, or improvements that were over-counted.

Why It Matters

Successful appeals reduce the assessed value for the appeal year and often reset the baseline for future years. Even a 10% reduction compounds over a decade of ownership.
