Community Associations Network Industry News

ALEXANDRIA, VA, JANUARY 17, 2008—New research by a respected international polling firm affirms that an overwhelming majority of Americans who live in community associations are satisfied with their communities, a finding that refutes those who use isolated anecdotal evidence to paint a negative image of common-interest communities.

More than seven in 10 community association residents say they are satisfied with their community association experience, according to the survey conducted by Zogby International in November 2007. Only 9 percent express dissatisfaction, with 19 percent neutral on the question.

The survey was sponsored by the Foundation for Community Association Research, a nonprofit organization created in 1975 to facilitate greater understanding of community associations.

The 2007 findings are consistent with national surveys conducted by Zogby in August 2005 and the Gallup Organization in 1999. The 2007 survey confirms and reinforces what community association residents told Zogby in 2005, including:

* They believe their association board members strive to serve the best interests of the community.

* They think their community managers provide value and support to the association.

* They believe association rules protect and enhance property values.

* They are satisfied with the return they get on their association assessments.

* They do not welcome additional government intrusion in their communities.

"Community association living isn't perfect, and for some it's just not a good fit, but it's reassuring to know that most residents believe their associations are functioning effectively," said Foundation President Robert Browning, PCAM, RS. "As positive as they are, these findings do not lessen our determination to help board members do an even better job and to develop and deliver education and training to increase professionalism among managers and others who serve associations."

Eighty-eight percent of community association residents believe their association board members strive to serve the best interests of the community. Almost 50 percent say this is "absolutely" true, while about 40 percent say it's true "for the most part." Ten percent say it's not true, which is consistent with the 9 percent of residents who express differing levels of dissatisfaction with their associations.

Many associations use professional management services, and 73 percent of residents say their managers provide value to their communities. Among those residents who have interacted with their professional managers, 79 percent say their experiences were positive, down from 88 percent in 2005.

"With just a few exceptions, the 2007 findings track very closely with the 2005 Zogby data," said CAI Chief Executive Officer Thomas M. Skiba, CAE. "This affirms not only the positive perceptions of people who live in community associations, but also the validity of the Zogby research as an effective measure of the community association industry.

"Still, some associations do not meet minimum standards of competence," Skiba adds. "That's unfortunate, but isolated incidents should not blemish the excellent work being done by hundreds of thousands of committed board members and management professionals across the country."

Rules and Property Values

Developed and enforced to maintain community aesthetics and protect property values, community association rules are often the source of friction between associations and individual residents. Although some residents would prefer to see fewer restrictions, 74 percent believe community association rules "protect and enhance" property values. Only 3 percent say rules harm property values, while about 22 percent see no difference. Rules can involve architectural elements, pets, landscaping, parking and fences.

For instance, when asked to name the "worst thing" about living in a common-interest community, 15 percent of residents mentioned restrictions on exterior home improvements. Thirty-six percent cited nothing negative about their associations, an increase of 11 percentage points over 2005.

Return on Assessments

Homeowners in planned communities pay assessments for services and amenities such as landscaping, trash pickup, street lighting, pools and tennis courts. Almost eight in 10 say they get a good return for their assessments, while 20 percent expressed some level of dissatisfaction. Monthly assessments can range from less than $25 to more than $500. Fifty-four percent pay less than $100 a month, while 31 percent pay between $100 and $300.

Regulation/Environmental Issues

The survey revealed that community association residents do not want more government involvement in the business of their associations, with 80 percent opposing greater government intervention. Zogby delved even deeper on environmental issues, asking residents whether associations should be forced by government to allow clotheslines that are visible to neighbors. Seventy-four percent said no and 18 percent said yes.

The preference for association autonomy was less apparent—although still a solid majority—on the issue of solar panels, with 59 percent saying associations should have the right to control the scope and placement of the devices.

Pre-purchase Awareness

Eighty-six percent of respondents said they knew they were moving into an association when they decided to purchase or rent. For 61 percent, the existence of an association had no impact on their decision, but 30 percent said the association made them more likely to buy or rent. Nine percent said they were hesitant to join an association community.

Based on more than 700 telephone interviews conducted in November 2007, the survey has a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points. Seventy-nine percent of respondents live in single-family homes or townhouses, 16 percent in condominiums and 6 percent in cooperatives and other forms of common-interest housing.

Zogby International has been tracking public opinion since 1984 in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

A summary of the results is posted at www.caionline.org/about/survey.cfm.

More than 60 million Americans live in an estimated 300,000 homeowner associations, condominium communities, cooperatives and other planned developments, up from 45 million residents in 223,000 communities in 2000.

CAI is a national membership organization dedicated to fostering vibrant, competent, harmonious common-interest communities. Founded in 1973, CAI and its 58 chapters provide education, tools and resources to the volunteers who govern communities and the professionals who support them. CAI’s 28,500+ members include community association volunteer leaders (homeowners), professional association managers and management firms and other professionals who provide products and services to community associations.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, JANUARY 14, 2008 – Sixty recipients of the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) designation are among the more than 300 industry professionals awarded designations by Community Associations Institute (CAI) during the second half of 2007. The following were also awarded:

* 245 Association Management Specialists (AMS)
* 5 Reserve Specialists (RS)
* 2 Community Insurance and Risk Management Specialists (CIRMS)
* 2 Large Scale Managers (LSM)

For the year, CAI awarded more than 500 AMS and PCAM designations, a new annual record.

In addition, four attorneys were admitted during the six-month period to the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL), bringing that group's membership to 104. The new members are Jay Hansen, Esq., of San Diego, CA; John Richards, Esq., of Salt Lake City, UT; Richard Salpietra, Esq., of Rancho Santa Fe, CA; and Charles Williams, Esq., of Columbus, OH.

The AMS is the second tier in the hierarchy of professional certification and designations for community association managers. The first tier is the Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) credential, administered by CAI's affiliate organization, the National Board of Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM). The PCAM is the third and highest credential for professional managers. The LSM designation demonstrates a specialized knowledge in the management and operation of large-scale community associations.

The RS designation recognizes education, expertise and experience in the conduct of reserve studies, an increasingly important component of community association operations.

CAI's designation programs were established in the 1990s and early 2000s to elevate the level of professionalism in the community association marketplace, a dynamic segment of the U.S. housing market that now encompasses more than 60 million Americans in an estimated 300,000 association-governed communities.

More than 3,800 managers have earned the AMS designation since it was established in 1990. More than 1,600 managers have earned the PCAM and 38 have obtained the LSM. Almost 150 professionals have received the RS designation, while 49 have earned the CIRMS designation.

CAI designation programs have elevated the professional stature of those who earn designations, and that has made CAI designations increasingly visible and valuable in the marketplace.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, JANUARY 11, 2008—The National Board of Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM) granted credentials to 475 professionals (listed below) who earned their Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) certification during the second half of 2007.

The CMCA signifies that a manager has passed NBC-CAM's national exam and met the requirements for managing condominium, cooperative and homeowner associations. More than 7,650 professionals have earned CMCA certification since the program was developed in 1995.

To search for an active CMCA, go to www.nbccam.org/hiring/search.cfm.

NBC-CAM was founded by Community Associations Institute (CAI) to establish guidelines for acquiring and demonstrating fundamental knowledge of community association management. An affiliate of CAI, NBC-CAM operates as an independent entity.

To obtain CMCA certification, managers must complete a 16-hour classroom course, the Essentials of Community Association Management, and pass the NBC-CAM CMCA Examination. Certified managers must adhere to the CMCA Standards of Professional Conduct and take continuing education courses for recertification. CMCA recipients who don't comply with the Standards of Professional Conduct are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or revocation of the credential.

NBC-CAM is the first and only national organization created solely to certify community association managers and to help consumers identify managers who have demonstrated fundamental competency and knowledge in this profession.

With the dramatic increase in association-governed housing, there is an expanded need for education in community association management. The number of community associations in the United States has grown from 10,000 in 1970 to almost 300,000 today.

A community association manager's duties include providing administrative, operational and managerial counsel to association boards and residents; developing association budgets and financial reports; enforcing community association covenants and restrictions; overseeing payment for community association services, and managing association personnel.

Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c78426) has announced the addition of 'Housing Associations and Related Organizations in the US' to their offering.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in promoting the interests of their members. The industry excludes religious organizations, social advocacy organizations, civic and social organizations, business associations, professional organizations, labor unions,
and political organizations. The industry includes such things as condominium or co-operative owners associations (which may be engaged in property management), and homeowners and condominium associations that do not provide property management. A homeowner association is comprised of two or more homeowners that belong to a mandatory membership organization for the maintenance of commonly-owned real estate and improvements. Organizations range in size from a simple duplex to developments with thousands of detached homes, condominiums and townhouses, which have marinas, golf courses and other recreational facilities to maintain. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Industry put on hold

Over the past few years, the number of communities governed by a housing association has risen dramatically, suggesting rapid growth in its popularity. As housing starts increase, so to will the number of community associations, but while the full affects of the subprime crisis are still to be played out, and both GDP and construction activity slow, housing starts are expected to struggle in the near term.
