wont help us, not unless they buy the whole neighborhood, which doesnt happen often.
next to us they are building some new homes from the "low 800's" the developer for that property is going to buy the other land they wanted for the mega car wash and add 2 or 3 more homes, the new neighborhood will :17: most all of our homes up an easy 100,000.
When you buy a house with a HOA they are required to tell you at closing, and you have to sign off on the Covenants, so for the most part they shouldnt be a suprise. BUt keep in mind selective enforcement, they have to bug everyone or no-one.
