Vantaca Data Powers Yahoo Finance Feature on Rising HOA Dues
Yahoo Finance published a feature on May 18, 2026 examining why HOA dues spiked sharply across the U.S. in 2025 — and why homeowners across the country are seeing one-time special assessments at record rates. The story was built around proprietary data from the Vantaca platform, which powers the financial operations of nearly 6 million American homes.
Vantaca CEO Ben Currin was quoted four times in the piece, including on the structural reason behind the surge: "For a long time, there was this trend of more and more underfunded reserves. People are starting to fund their reserves at a better clip than they had a few years ago. That does trickle through in assessment dollars."
The piece established the public narrative that years of board-level cost absorption have given way to a 2025 catch-up moment — with boards that fund reserves responsibly now positioned for a smoother trajectory ahead, and underfunded associations facing larger swings.
Key Vantaca data in the piece:
- Median HOA dues jumped 44% to $757 in 2025
- Nearly 10% of HOAs issued a special assessment in 2025, up from 7.8% in 2021
- Median special assessment: $1,100
