location! location! location! you do not worry if the location is super. No matter how much is the HOA, a house in super location is hot forever. Or, just walk away from it. High HOA in a gerenal location is a big con when you try to sell it.

Depends on what are covered by HOA. If HOA is $400, but covers fire/earthquake/harzard insurance, water and garbage, house exterior and has pool, spa, gym, then it is good. If HOA is only $150, but doesn cover anything except for common area maintanance, then it is bad.
