A Time for Reflection and Intentions—Even for Your Homeowners Association!
The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, marks a time to pause and reflect. It’s an opportunity to look back on the year behind us, celebrating what went well and learning from what didn’t. It’s also a moment to set intentions for the year ahead—dreaming of warmer, brighter days and the possibilities they bring.
In our personal lives, this might look like making New Year’s resolutions or setting intentions for 2025. In the world of HOAs, however, we call this...budgeting!
Yes, it might not sound quite as glamorous as setting a goal to run a marathon or finally learn to make sourdough bread, but budgeting is the backbone of a successful HOA. Just like personal intentions, it’s a way to plan for improvements, address challenges, and prepare for the unexpected.
This is the perfect time for HOA boards to reflect on the past year:
What projects brought the most value to your community?
Were there any unexpected hurdles, and how were they managed?
Is your reserve fund ready for the future?
Looking ahead to 2025, consider what your Boise area communities can achieve with clear goals and careful planning. Whether it’s improving landscaping, tackling long-deferred maintenance, or enhancing community events, setting a strong budget is like planting seeds that will bloom in the brighter days of spring and summer.
Here at Tree City Property Management, we’re here to help your HOA set intentions for the coming year—big or small. Together, we can make 2025 your community’s best year yet.
