Summary
More than 1,500 condominium and homeowners association leaders joined Associa’s webinar on updated Fannie Mae lending and insurance standards, reflecting urgency around upcoming compliance deadlines.
Beginning Jan. 4, 2027, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will require 15% reserve contributions, up from 10%, while separate condominium-related changes take effect Aug. 3, 2026.
John Reichart of Associa and Jodi Horne of Fannie Mae outlined why the rules matter, how they could affect associations, and what boards should do now on budgets, reserves and insurance.
The timing is critical because many associations are entering budget season and reassessing reserve funding, insurance coverage and longer-term financial planning.
