Realtor.com (NWS) reports that 43.6% of U.S. home listings carried a nonzero HOA fee in 2025, up from 34.3% in 2019, reflecting the spread of HOA-heavy new construction into resale inventory. The median monthly HOA fee rose to $135 in 2025 (from $108 in 2019). New builds remain most likely to have HOAs (67.9%) versus 38.9% for existing homes. Homes with HOAs skew larger and pricier (median $450,000 vs $374,900) but show similar time on market overall. Florida metros show the largest HOA burden relative to mortgage payments, led by Miami where median HOA fees equal 26.9% of a typical mortgage payment in the study.
