Property Ownership

A Washington homeowner's property is subject to an HOA that has a right of first refusal when the property is sold. If the homeowner receives an offer from a buyer, the HOA may:

AReject the offer and prevent the sale for any reason
BMatch the buyer's offer and purchase the property on the same terms✓ Correct
COverride the homeowner's choice of buyer for aesthetic reasons
DOnly exercise the right of first refusal within 24 hours

Explanation

A right of first refusal gives the HOA (or another party) the option to purchase the property on the same terms and conditions as the pending offer. The HOA cannot simply block the sale — they must match the exact offer to exercise the right.
