Costa Mesa Pod: What Condo Owners & HOAs Need to Know | With Jason

Holly McDonald

California’s SB 326 (balcony and deck inspection law) is already creating challenges for condo sales, refinances, and HOAs — and it’s only going to get more impactful as 2026 approaches.

In this episode, I sit down with Jason to unpack what SB 326 means for:
✔️ Condo owners preparing to sell or refinance
✔️ Buyers navigating HOA fees, inspections, and special assessments
✔️ Lenders and why financing is getting more complicated
✔️ HOA boards and the importance of getting ahead of inspection deadlines

Jason and I also share real-world examples of how delayed reports, critical repairs, and HOA decisions are affecting transactions right now — and why both homeowners and board members need to stay informed.

If you own a condo, serve on an HOA board, or are thinking about buying, this conversation will help you understand how SB 326 impacts property values, financing, and long-term investment potential.
