HOA dues are rising.

Realtor.com reported that 43.6% of U.S. home listings in 2025 had HOA fees, up from 34.3% in 2019, and the median monthly HOA fee rose to $135, up from $108 in 2019. Axios also covered the trend locally, noting that about 57% of San Diego County listings had HOA dues in 2025, up from 55% in 2024. The practical takeaway: as dues become more common and more expensive, residents will expect clearer explanations of what they are paying for, why dues changed, and how decisions were made.
