Washingtonians who are members of a condo association or homeowners' association may bristle at the cost of their monthly fees — but on average, HOA dues here are much lower than elsewhere in the country.
By the numbers: The median monthly HOA or condo association fee in Washington state was $82 last year, compared to $135 nationwide, according to newly released census data.
Stunning stat: If high condo or HOA fees terrify you, don't move to New York, where the median monthly fee was $739, or Washington, D.C., where it was $505.
