Understanding HOA Fees
Most Seattle condo HOA fees cover common area maintenance (hallways, lobbies, courtyards), building insurance and liability, utilities (water, sewer, trash, often electric), property management, elevator maintenance, and building reserve funds. Review your building's CC&Rs and annual budget for exact coverage—amenities like fitness centers, rooftop decks, or concierge vary widely.
A $500/month fee for a 600 sq ft studio ($0.83/sf) is more expensive than a $700 fee for a 1,000 sq ft one-bedroom ($0.70/sf). Per-square-foot comparison eliminates unit size bias and lets you see true HOA burden. It's the industry standard for evaluating condo ownership costs fairly.
Use these benchmarks: under $0.80/sf = low (good value), $0.80–$1.10/sf = typical for Seattle's urban amenities, over $1.10/sf = premium or luxury buildings. Larger buildings achieve economies of scale; a 500-unit building can cost less per unit than a 50-unit building with identical expenses. Neighborhood, age, and amenities also drive variation.
When evaluating a condo purchase, factor HOA into your total housing cost. If a unit is $450,000 with $700/month HOA ($8,400/year), you're paying roughly 1.9% of purchase price annually in HOA fees—higher than single-family home taxes but typical for urban condos. Always budget for HOA increases of 3–5% annually.
