Because right now, I'm looking at buying a 200K-ish condo that was built in the 1980's, located in Crescent Heights. As of right now, the condo fees are $270 for a one bedroom. However, realtors have been telling all sorts of horror stories about post-tension concrete cables and roof stuff. Can I expect the condo fee to increase dramatically through the years since the building is getting to be pretty old? Also, anyone know about the construction quality when it comes to leaks and the like for buildings built during this era? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
