A 78-year-old widow who purchased a luxury townhouse is now facing unexpectedly high HOA fees of $8,000 annually, significantly more than what she paid when she owned a home. She reached out to MarketWatch Picks for advice on managing these costs. The response suggests she consider negotiating with the HOA board for a fee reduction or special arrangement, explore financial assistance programs for seniors, and consult with a financial advisor to review her budget and possibly downsize or relocate to a more affordable living situation. Additionally, she is advised to connect with local senior advocacy groups for further support and guidance.
