They were 150 when we bought. We're talking about a small, modest condo here - we thought we were buying below what we could....

HOA has been very badly managed, and the sellers made a bunch of misrepresentations about how things were going.....

I really feel for people in more expensive areas (e.g. DC, PNW) - I don't know how they make it!
