💵What this unit actually costs per month
37% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $42,180 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $2,368.
Rate is the Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year average for the week of 2026-10-08 — a national survey figure, not a quote. Tax, insurance and closing costs are estimates; your own Loan Estimate is the real number.
This building's HOA fees
🚩 Rising fast · +7.2%/yrReconstructed from 88 units of recorded sales at 6400 Christie Ave — every recorded sale carries its HOA fee and date. No listing site shows this.
These dues climbed 41% in 5 years — about +7.2%/yr across 88 units of recorded sales, well above inflation. A rise this steep is a leading signal of a special assessment, a drained reserve fund, or an insurance shock. The listing never shows it; the building's documents are where the "why" lives.
