California AB 2050 — New HOA Reserve Rules Starting 2032

California has signed AB 2050, bringing major changes to HOA reserve funding requirements.

Starting January 1, 2032, HOAs will need to look at their reserve funding over a 30-year projection. If the reserve account is projected to fall below $0 during that period, the HOA will generally be required to put at least 15% of its gross annual budget into reserves until the projected shortfall is addressed.

If regular assessments are not enough to meet the required reserve funding, the HOA may also need to impose a reserve funding special assessment, subject to the law’s requirements.

For condo owners and buyers, this means HOA financials and reserve studies will become even more important when evaluating a property.

加州 AB 2050 — HOA 儲備金新規定，2032 年正式生效

California 已經通過 AB 2050，HOA 儲備金（Reserve Fund）的規定將有新的變化。

從 2032 年 1 月 1 日開始，HOA 必須以 未來 30 年來檢視 Reserve Fund 是否足夠。

如果預估未來 30 年內 Reserve 會跌到 $0 以下，HOA 原則上需要每年至少將 年度總預算（gross annual budget）的 15% 撥入 Reserve，直到預估的資金缺口獲得改善。

如果單靠一般 HOA 費用仍不足以達到要求，符合條件時也可能需要收取 Special Assessment（特別評估費）。

對 Condo 屋主及買家來說，以後看房時，除了 HOA 月費，也要更加注意：

🏢 Reserve Fund 有多少？
📊 最近的 Reserve Study 是什麼？
💰 未來 30 年是否有資金缺口？
⚠️ 是否可能需要 Special Assessment？

簡單說：2032 年開始，HOA 不只是要「有 Reserve」，而是要確保未來 30 年的 Reserve 不會預測到負數。2032 年看似還很遠，但對老 Condo 社區來說，現在的 Reserve 財務狀況可能就會影響未來幾年的 HOA 費用與房屋交易。

U.S. real estate investment has collapsed by 50% over the last four years.
The reason? It's now more profitable to sit on your couch and buy a 10-year government bond than to buy an investment property.
10-year yields are now 5.1% (update: above 5.2% on 9/25/26)
While the single-family cap rate for rentals is 4.8%.
For the first time in nearly two decades, buying real estate for cash flow has a negative opportunity cost v buying government bonds.
And as a result, the number of people buying investment properties has plummeted by 50% over the last four years.
This is having a massive price impact on certain markets.

過去四年，美國房地產投資暴跌了50%。
原因何在？現在坐在沙發上買10年期公債比買投資性房產更賺錢。
10年期公債殖利率目前為5.1%（更新：2026年9月25日超過5.2%）。
而單戶住宅出租的資本化率僅4.8%。
近二十年來，購買房產以獲取現金流的機會成本首次低於購買國債。
因此，過去四年購買投資性房產的人數驟降了50%。
這給某些市場帶來了巨大的價格衝擊。
