Welcome to our podcast with Mark Wade of BHHS, Fox and Roach Realtors, CenterCityCondos.com - where we delve into property valuations with regards to condo special assessments. We discuss its implications on contracts of sale, potential negotiables, and how they affect a given building's value and demand.
Discover how the nature of special assessments can influence market behavior. We look at real life examples of buildings such as the Plaza at 1901 Walnut, where their non-visible - but significant - special assessment led to years of stunted growth. Learn about how large, less visible assessments can cause the demand and value of a building to decrease.
The podcast also explores different financial layouts of buildings – from those that plan ahead with significant contributions to their assessment funds, to those that prefer spontaneous collection. Special assessments can influence the market attractiveness of a property and understanding them can be key in making informed purchase decisions.
Lastly, we also differentiate general talk of future improvements from actual assessments. Mark shares the important implication that, unless a future improvement is officially agreed upon and recorded, it cannot be considered a special assessment.
This podcast is essential listening for anyone interested in condo investment, looking to buy a condo, or even anyone curious about how condo special assessments work. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to Mark Wade at 267-237-3404. Thank you.
