Hi, Saralee. Yes; based on the responses I've gotten in this thread, no doubt.
Do you know, by the way, if there's any easy way of determining whether a community has a HOA? I've been browsing through various real estate websites (remotely from here in Connecticut), and whether or not a HOA exists doesn't seem to be a standard attribute in whatever database they are using to generate these listings, or at least is not one which is routinely reported. I sometimes see references to a HOA in the free-form
descriptive section of a listing, but haven't found a realtor site where it is a searchable field.
