📣 Agents, read this before your next condo deal!
Condo financing rules are changing, and most agents don't know it's coming. Here's what's happening:
âś… Fannie and Freddie are doing away with the "limited review" that made a lot of condo loans quick and easy. Now most condos require a FULL review.
âś… That means three things have to qualify, not one: your buyer, the appraisal, AND the HOA itself (budget, reserves, insurance, and any litigation).
âś… HOAs are the wild card. They can take up to two weeks just to hand over their budget, so a deal you thought was conventional can suddenly need a different program.
It's not the buyer. It's the BUILDING. More condo buyers (and the agents who represent them) are going to get surprised mid-transaction. Buildings that closed fine a year ago may not clear today.
Send me a message if you want the full breakdown of what's changing. Let's make sure none of your condo deals get caught off guard! 🏙️
