In 2026, property managers face a challenging scenario when it comes to balancing the condominium budget. Recent data shows that the average condominium fee in Brazil rose from R$413 in 2022 to R$516 in 2025, an increase of 24.9% in three years, putting pressure on cash flow and demanding more strategic decisions in fixed-cost management.

In addition, the Condominium Cost Index (ICON) for the São Paulo Metropolitan Region recorded a cumulative variation of around 4.7% over the 12 months to July 2025, reflecting the continued rise in ordinary expenses such as maintenance and utility charges.

In this context, reviewing contracts with suppliers becomes essential. A review goes beyond renegotiating prices: it is an opportunity to adjust adjustment clauses, contract terms, indices applied and services that add no real value to the condominium's day-to-day running. Property managers who take a proactive approach are able to cut fixed costs, improve budget forecasting and strengthen data-driven decision-making.

Electricity and Budget Predictability

One of the main fixed costs in condominiums is electricity, where tariff volatility can make budget forecasting difficult. Innovative alternatives have emerged on the market to ease this impact. NewSun's clean energy subscription allows condominiums to access solar energy generated on solar farms, converted into credits that reduce the electricity bill without any building work or investment in their own infrastructure. This solution brings cost stability and budget predictability, allowing property managers to better forecast their monthly electricity expenses.

Reviewing contracts makes it possible to identify unfavourable clauses, cut spending without compromising service quality, and strengthen the condominium's financial sustainability. Incorporating solutions that deliver financial and operational gains, such as more predictable energy models, makes management more efficient and better prepared for the challenges of 2026.

For property managers seeking stability and real savings on their electricity bill, NewSun offers a clean energy subscription, a sustainable alternative that provides cost predictability and contributes to more transparent, effective condominium management.
