Is your condo association ready for the 15% rule?

There's a major condo financing change coming in 2027, and many condo owners and even board members haven't heard about it yet.

Beginning January 4, 2027, Freddie Mac is increasing its standard minimum replacement-reserve allocation from 10% to 15% of annual budgeted assessment income.

That means how your HOA budgets for future major expenses could become even more important to condo financing.

Over the next few posts, I'm breaking down what the 15% rule actually means—and what it doesn't mean.

Follow along if you own, manage, serve on the board of, or are thinking about buying a condo.

Not every loan or condo project is evaluated the same way. Financing eligibility depends on the applicable lender and agency requirements. Need a lender? Message us for some local condo lender recommendations.

Thinking of buying or selling without an agent?
Here are 6 reasons why that could cost you—big time. ⬇️

1️⃣ Pricing Expertise – Agents know how to price your home right (not just based on internet searches).
2️⃣ Market Knowledge – From neighborhoods to interest rate trends, they have the inside scoop.
3️⃣ Skilled Negotiator – You want someone who can fight for your best deal, whether you’re buying or selling.
4️⃣ Handles the Paperwork – Contracts, disclosures, timelines… it’s a lot. A good agent keeps everything on track.
5️⃣ Access to Off-Market Listings – Some of the best homes never hit public sites. Agents know where to look.
6️⃣ Avoid Costly Mistakes – One wrong step could delay your closing or cost thousands—an agent helps you avoid that.
