HOA up and up

[stevozh]

Hello everyone, I own Trump tower in Vegas with 11,520 pts annual points. Please see my HOA due for the past three years below. Is this happening to everyone or just Trump Tower owners? it's a 100 or more increase every damn year!!


2022 HOA 1579
2023 HOA 1673
2024 HOA 1801

This is happening every year to Marriott owners as well. Costs have been going up on everything.

My casual observation: HGVC Trump is more expensive MF/point wise than the other Vegas locations, by quite a bit based on your sharing of the MF compared to BLVD, Elara and Paradise.

 

[Snezz1e]

Long term it would benefit you to get a 11200 Elara deed for around $6-7k and get rid of the Trump deed. I don't think you'll get much for Trump deed. Might have to give away or do a deed back. You'll save $800/year in MF. Elara annual MF increase has also been consistently less than all the other Las Vegas deeds.

MFs for Trump Tower:

This isn't anything unique to Trump Tower. All MFs go up. Perhaps the ones at TT go up by a higher dollar amount. A 5% increase on a lower MF property is fewer dollars than a 5% increase on a high MF property.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

$2440 for a 2 bdrm at TT is pricey for Vegas

Compare that to approx. $1100 for BLVD 2 bdrm

That's $1300 more per year! Yikes! I would dump that dog and get something more efficient.

When are the MF due dates (before late penalty) for HGVC Elara and Blvd?

 

[alexinorlando]

Has anyone ever been offered to trade in their trump deed to another resort during an owner update?

 

[Reddart]

Penalty after 45 days from the due date 1/1/25 for Elara.

 

[HuskerATL]

Penalty after 45 days from the due date 1/1/25 for Elara.

Similar for Blvd

My brother and his wife traded in a TT unit at an owner update (sales presentation) and bought Maui. They had purchased TT from HGVC, so I don’t know if they could have done the same thing with a resale unit.

Take a look at your billing assessment letter that is sent every year. It will tell you the specific reason(s) for the yearly increase at your home resort. For example here’s HGVC Flamingo’s Assessment Letters for 2023 (link) and 2022 (link).

Attached below are some HGVC videos regarding maintenance fees.

(Hogs are Hogs) Hilton raises fees at every resort every year. Not just mf's either. They raise reservation fees, implement parking fees, resort fees, and every other fee they can dreem up. Have you looked at the fee for carrying over points to the next year now. Mine is under contract and I'm just praying now that it goes through. Why trade 1 resort for another when it will just buy you a little more time. Find a good independent resort and trade into these point systems at half the cost. Hogs are Hogs they don't change.

Thanks everyone's answer!

I will have to agree with @Snezz1e at this point. But for comparison, i bought mine for 5k and started @ 1500 HOA. Elara was more expensive by 2k or so but HOA is about 300 less at the time. If I look back knowing what I know now, It will surely make sense go for a more expensive property at the beginning. But we are talking about it take around 7 years to get even to cover the additional 2k purchase price. It's too late for me now, I must say, with all the closing cost and loss value on buy and sell, it probably better for me to just hold on to what I got.

On a separate note, is it truth that all property has a 5% annual increase on HOA? if so, mine increase over 6%, is it still that bad?

Take a look at the annual HGVC MF sticky thread. Each year our moderator indicates the average increase.

The latest thread has a link to the previous years.

@stevozh, it looks like you own a 1BR platinum season at Trump Tower. Could you report your MFs in our Sticky:

Our Westin Flex fees went up a lot for 2025. It's now gotten expensive enough for us to consider trying to sell (although I don't see a lot of Flex programs for sale. So, I'm not sure how "saleable" it might be. The past 3 years, I've been able to rent out weeks to help pay but that's not a guarantee each year. We are Executive level. MF's in 2024 $4800. Next year almost $1,000 higher.

Both weeks are platinum, which shouldn't make a different as MF is the same regardless of season.

2025 CLUB DUES	$219.00
SW 2 BR (I never remember if is is OVS II or I as both documents show up in the Hilton portal. )
Total Amount Due $1,668.34
2025 OPERATING FEE	$978.34
2025 REAL ESTATE TAXES	$291.03
2025 RESERVE FEE	$398.97

Bay Club at Waikaloa 2 BR B floorplan
Total Amount Due $2,088.11

2025 HAWAII GE TAX	$86.89
2025 OPERATING FEE	$1,576.59

SW 2 BR (I never remember if is is OVS II or I as both documents show up in the Hilton portal. )

Which season? Important for FL resorts. I will see if I can figure out the phase.

Platinum, but it shouldn't matter MFs are the same for SW.
