Why are LV HOA fees so high?
I thought I was looking at a typo the first time I saw that HOA fees for some condos were $800/month. Then i saw it again, and again.
Who the f is HOA, what do you get for paying those fees? If you rent a place at Panorama for $1500/month, and the owner is paying $800/month in HOA fees, some money in property taxes and insurance, it seems like they're making pretty close to $0, maybe even losing money. wtf is going on? |

when you live somewhere like panorama, there is a lot that needs to be paid for...security guards, pool, window washers, fitness center, etc, so HOA fees are higher. you are definitely right that someone who owns a unit and is renting it out right now is probably breaking even at best. |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
I understand the HOA fees and they seem reasonable to me, if you want a pool security etc they have to be payed for, what i dont understand is why there is a property tax.

As for the HOA, yes they are necessary but $800 a month for a condo's HOA is f'ing absurd. I pay less than half that where I live in LA and have utilities, pool, gym, spa, 24-hour security, etc. |

I have had these assessments in ACity and in LV as well. But $800/month sounds wrong. |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
My HOA in washington state is like 240 and a pretty sick place with pool, fitness center, etc. $800 is insane.

Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
You can't compare unless your place originally cost a half million dollars.

As beautiful as all of those massive high rise condos are in Vegas I can't help but think they're going to be turned into low income housing at some point. There are far far far too many residential units available for the Vegas economy to support.
Anyone thinking of investing in a high rise condo better do their homework and be ready to be in it for the long haul. Also, $800 a month for association fees? Wow! Just wow!... That alone is such a huge deterrent for anyone to buy. Especially when there are so many houses available around Vegas at great prices. |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
For example:
http://patsold.com/4575%20Dean%20Mar...for%20SALE.htm price: 425k. MONTHLY HOA fees: $951/month. wtf? WTF? another example: http://patsold.com/4525%20Dean%20Martin%201212.htm price: 380k MONTLY HOA fees: $813/month. again, WTF? |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
a) not sure why you would expect to rent a recently purchased condo for more than it costs to own it (though this depends on city)
b) vacancy |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
A lot of these HOA are higher than a mortgage on a nice house in Vegas

it is probable that your house in Vegas will be robbed. |

Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
and it's pretty much never a concern when you live in panorama. my old hs friend lives there. I visited him over the summer and it seem the security was tight enough that it would deter 99% from trying to break-in.

Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
A friend of mine lives at Turnberry, his HOA fee is $1500 a month. At Turnberry the higher the floor you live on, the higher the fee.

Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
How do Vegas high rise condo fees compare to similar condos in other cities? This can't be unique to LV. We have one example from Washington State at $240. But not enough detail to really compare the two to know if they are similar.

This is just silly. I live in summerlin and they print the crime activity every week in the summerlin add-on to the LVRJ and there are like maybe 2 breakins a week in summerlin. I've lived in my neighborhood for 2.5 years and there has been one crime, an auto theft from a foreclosed house (and therefore may have been a scam by the car owner). |

This has risen in the 10 years that I have had the place from $369. There have also been 3 separate assessments which were related to facade improvements, new lifts and new roof which was replaced after storm damage from high winds in the winter of 2006. The biggest kill though of late which was due in the value of properties in the housing market boom (2004-2007) was the two fold increase in property taxes. In terms of upkeep - I budget $10,000/year just to keep my butt in the door. Also this summer was the first time since I had the property that I've been continuously from mid May to mid Oct (although this last month I'm on assignment in Delhi, India). Having 1 high rise condo already was a reason why I didn't want to go in that direction when I bought my condo in Vegas. I wanted good amenities off the strip and much lower HOV fees. |
Re: Why are LV HOA fees so high?
So basically.... owing a high rise in Vegas is just ******ed, but renting is good

If you can find a building with high occupancy, a stable HOA, and the numbers work for you, maybe buying is ok. But many of the properties will have low occupancy, and the HOA is still mostly comprised of the developer (who may go bankrupt if the economy doesn't turn upward soon) and a few actual owners. Would you really want to own in a building with 40-60% vacancy? |
