Unfortunately, the way the HOA "agreement" that you were forced to sign would give them the authority to either prevent the sale or hold you responsible for the cost.

Did you read the story a bunch of months ago where a HOA in Texas sold a woman's house without even informing her in order to collect back HOA dues? HOAs have gotten way too powerful and the last thing we need is to give them more power.

I will never buy another house that has an HOA. There is actually a builder in our area that uses the fact that there is no HOA in their developments as a selling point.
