The HOA housing sector is projected to grow steadily, offering stability, shared amenities, and predictable governance. The Foundation estimates an increase of 3,000 to 4,000 new HOAs in 2026, housing nearly 80 million Americans. HOAs continue to support residential growth and provide affordable housing options.

Key housing trends for 2026 include rising inventory levels, recovery in home sales, modest price appreciation, predictable mortgage rates, and sustained construction activity. These factors contribute to a more balanced market with slower housing inflation and increased affordability for buyers.

Buyers choose HOA living for proximity to amenities, schools, and employment centers. Planned communities transfer responsibility for services like trash collection and snow removal to homeowners, supporting sustainable growth and reducing the need for expanded local government services.

Homeowner satisfaction within HOAs remains high, with 86% rating their experience positively. The majority feel their elected board serves the community well, their community manager provides value, and association rules protect property values. These findings highlight the importance of HOAs in providing stable housing options.
