Fannie Mae just issued an unexpected new warning for the U.S. condo market, tightening mortgage requirements starting in 2027. The new rules will require deeper reviews of HOA reserves, budgets, assessments, building conditions, and other condo association documents before certain mortgages can be approved.
That change is coming at a terrible time for condo owners. Condo prices are already falling across major housing markets like Austin, Nashville, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Phoenix, Denver, Oakland, and Sarasota. At the same time, HOA fees, insurance costs, inventory, and homeowner association foreclosures are rising, putting even more pressure on buyers and sellers.

The gap between the cost to rent and the cost to buy is also becoming a major problem for condos. In markets like Nashville, a new one-bedroom apartment can rent for around $1,750 per month after concessions, while buying a comparable condo with a mortgage and HOA fee can cost close to $2,900 per month. That affordability gap is another reason condo demand is weakening.
