📣 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:
✅ 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.
✅ That means three things have to qualify, not one: your buyer, the appraisal, AND the HOA itself (budget, reserves, insurance, and any litigation).
✅ 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! 🏙️
