As a resident of Bay Hills for 18 years and real estate agent for 25 years, I look forward to getting the prices back up in our neighborhood this year.

Welcome! 

 
Greetings, neighbors!

We've all had quite a shock recently with the body found on the Bay Hills Golf Course. The police were very vague when I spoke to them that day, but they reported the next day that there was no evidence of foul play, and they are considering it a hypothermia-related death.

This is not something we expect to happen in our neighborhood. But it proves terrible things can happen anywhere. Let's join together to keep an eye out for each other and ourselves.

Stay warm, walk safe on the ice, and enjoy our Buffalo weather!

If you have any suggestions or concerns, please bring them to our next board meeting on Tuesday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m. at O'Loughlin's. Hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Paul Cain
BHCA President

BHCA Resale Packets

If you are selling a home in the community, please contact Bay West Management to obtain a resale packet. The packet contains the community's by-laws, covenants, and community regulations. The packet should be furnished to the buyer prior to the property sale closing. Bay West will confirm if there is any balance due on the homeowner's account before releasing the packet.

 

Sellers are expected to clear their BHCA account prior to closing on a home sale. The title company representing the buyer is required by law to research obligations related to a property. These obligations include homeowner association memberships, outstanding dues, liens, etc. To request a resale packet, contact Michelle Boss or Ralph Hudson at Bay West: 410-897-0207.

Account balances as of December 31, 2013   

 

We ended 2013 with a surplus of $3,627.68. I'm going to open a new savings account, where I will deposit this surplus for a capital reserve fund. Right now, we don't earn much interest on the money we have in the bank. This capital reserve fund will allow us to earn more interest and avoid bank fees.
