New Data Shows HOA Liens Jumped Nearly 42% in Three Years

Citing new data from the analytics firm Cotality, Newsweek reported that HOA liens rose 41.7% nationally between 2022 and 2025 — from 177,260 to 250,951 — with Florida, Texas, Nevada, California, and Arizona accounting for more than 85% of HOA foreclosure filings.

The piece ties the increase to rising insurance costs and dues (the reported 2026 median monthly HOA fee is $135) squeezing homeowners at the same time associations are under more financial pressure themselves. It's a useful reminder that the individual horror stories in this feed are part of a real, measurable national trend, not isolated incidents.
