Condos, townhomes and patio homes in Peoria
Lower-maintenance homes are popular in Peoria. Condos, townhomes and patio homes can suit first-time buyers, downsizers and investors, and the HOA is a bigger part of the decision than it is with a standard house.
Review the HOA fee, what it covers, the reserve fund and any special assessments. Some loan programs, including FHA and VA, only finance condos in approved projects, so it is worth checking early.
- Ask for the HOA budget, reserve study and any pending special assessments
- Confirm what the monthly fee covers, such as roof, exterior, insurance and amenities
- Check whether the project is approved for FHA or VA financing if you need it
- Review rental limits and pet rules
Understanding condo and townhome fees in Peoria
The monthly HOA fee is only part of the cost. Some fees include water, trash, exterior maintenance, roof and building insurance, while others cover only common areas, so two similar fees can mean very different things.
Ask for the budget and reserve study, and ask what the fee has done over the last few years and whether a special assessment is planned.
- Ask exactly what the fee covers and what it does not
- Check the reserve fund and whether a special assessment is planned
- Confirm the master insurance policy and what your own policy needs to cover
- Review rules on rentals, pets and parking
