A comprehensive, data-driven analysis of HOA costs and market dynamics in any U.S. ZIP code. Everything a serious buyer or investor needs to make an informed decision.
Aggregates what would take you 6-8 hours of manual research across listing sites, county records, and neighborhood forums into one detailed report.
Specific questions to ask sellers and HOA boards based on your ZIP code's risk profile and common fee structures.

Immediate snapshot of what to expect: typical HOA ranges, who this ZIP suits best (first-time buyers, investors, retirees), and top-level cost drivers you need to know.
Detailed breakdown of monthly fees by property type. Low, median, and high scenarios for condos, townhouses, and single-family HOAs. Percentile rankings to understand where any listing falls.
Explains what pushes fees higher or lower: amenity expectations (pools, gyms, security), property age, density patterns, regional insurance costs, and local labor rates.
Analysis of how HOA fees affect resale values in your ZIP. Buyer sensitivity thresholds, appreciation patterns for HOA vs. non-HOA properties, and long-term ownership cost projections.
Side-by-side comparison with surrounding areas. Identifies whether your target ZIP is a high, average, or low-cost HOA market and explains the geographic pricing patterns.
Warning signs to watch for: indicators of underfunded reserves, fee volatility patterns, special assessment likelihood based on building age and past trends.

Honest assessment of fit: owner-occupants vs. investors, short-term vs. long-term holders, retirees vs. growing families. Matches ZIP characteristics to buyer profiles.

Here's what actual data from a report looks like (sample ZIP: 92127, San Diego, CA):
HOA fees in this ZIP trend higher than county average ($385 vs. $310) primarily due to community age and amenity density. Most developments built 2000-2010 include pools, fitness centers, and landscaped common areas requiring consistent maintenance. Insurance costs add $40-65/month per unit due to wildfire risk designation. Newer builds (post-2015) show 15% lower fees thanks to modern materials and deferred major maintenance timelines.
Every US ZIP code across all 50 states and DC, plus search by any of 3,100+ counties.
Fees come from MLS listing data, meaning what sellers actually disclosed, covering homes on the market now plus those sold in the past 12 months. Nothing is estimated or modeled.
The map is free and always has been. No signup, no email required, no results hidden behind a registration wall.
Results are cached for up to 30 days, so a fee you see may be a few weeks old. Listings themselves update continuously.
What this data cannot do: it only sees properties that are listed, so a ZIP code with little turnover shows fewer results, and a quiet market may show none. Fees are reported by sellers and are not audited. Nothing here reveals an association's reserve balance, budget, or delinquency rate — those come only from the HOA's own documents, which you should always request before buying.
You could spend 6-8 hours doing this yourself. Pulling listings from Redfin and Zillow, cross-referencing county assessor data, reading through neighborhood forums, comparing adjacent ZIP codes, calculating percentiles, researching insurance zones, and trying to find historical fee trends.
Or you could have it done in 10 minutes. This report compiles, analyzes, and contextualizes HOA data the way a real estate analyst would—complete with comparative benchmarks and risk indicators you won't find on any listing site.
What makes this different from free lookup tools:
Data sources and methodology:
Reports draw from active MLS listings, recent sale records, county property data, and regional cost indices. Analysis includes statistical breakdowns (percentiles, medians, ranges), geographic comparisons, and pattern recognition for risk factors. All estimates are clearly labeled as estimates—we don't claim perfect accuracy, but we do provide useful, decision-grade insight.
