After all the info he provides……a cheap shot is not necessary.

Jan closing- May contract date seems unfair!
Quote:
We closed Jan 2022 (179.00 amenity fee) Just received new amenity fee based off original homes contract, our amenity fee went up to 194.00. How is this possible and or fair? Should have a 12 month reprieve from higher fee or simply adjust fees based on current contract date. |

Yes. But, does it make a sound if no one is there to hear it?

The Cleveland Fed just released a report that CPI is 10%, so your increase is more fair than the houses whose anniversary date is in the future, and will see an even higher increase. |

Our amenity bill went up this month (bill due mid July). The contract on our house was signed August 2021.

Mine have gone up every year. Dec 2020 I was at $163, Dec 2021 raised to $174 and now Aug 2022 raised to $183.
So it seems to me that they can raise it whenever they feel like it. |

It is not whenever they feel like. It changes annually based on a cost of living index (not sure which one) on the anniversary date of when the house first was put up for sale. All of the houses in your area probably have the same change date.

It was increasing annually. But in the past 12 months I have had two increases, one in December and one on this last bill.

2017 $145.00 2018 $147.96 2019 $151.69 2020 $156.19 2021 $156.19 NO INCREASE! 2022 $165.91 2023 ???????????????? All in all, a bargain. My father lived in South FL for 0ver 25 years in a very large 55+ 3 floor elevator condo development and he was paying as of 2018 $543/Month CONDO (HOA?) FEES for a 1 bedroom PLUS multiple times over the 25+ years he was hit with a $500-$1000+ "special assessment." They had 1900+ units there and 2 pools, 4 tennis courts and 2 golf courses. BUT they were close to Costco, BJ's, hundreds of restaurants and lots of civilization.

It should be no surprise to anyone that the CPI-U is manipulated to be lower than it would otherwise be. The reason for this is so many Federal unfunded liabilities are tied to this CPI such as social security, Federal and military pensions. The manipulation is subtle. The 'basket' that is used to determine food costs, for example is changed periodically to "reflect changes in consumption" less red meat and more chicken, etc. This fails to acknowledge that less red meat is consumed because it is too expensive. In a different ploy housing costs are also under reported. So, your amenities are actually increasing too slowly. That is if those costs mirror the CPI-U, which they do not |

I also closed earlier this year, amenity fees were $179 until this week's bill now at $195.22.
In an older area north of 466. Not complaining, but how often do these increases occur? This increase was not on the purchase anniversary date either. Also do amenity fees vary dependent on location, or longevity of residence? |
