This is a question we get asked all the time and is one you should always ask. The condo fees can vary quite a bit between different condo buildings due to amenities, services and the number of owners to share the costs.

Here is a comprehensive list of everything that might be included in your condo fee with the more typical items marked with an asterisk.

If you haven't yet seen the new HUD-1 and GFE, you will soon.  Because of changes to RESPA, as of January 1, 2010, these forms have been updated. Don't be surprised at the closing table. The new forms (and accompanying rules) are intended to help home buyers (who are obtaining mortgages) to better understand and compare their mortgage options. 

Take a look at the new Good Faith Estimate and HUD-1 forms.
