All of these homes predate Florida's 2002 statewide building code. So roof age, window protection and the wind mitigation report matter a great deal for insurance.

In addition, most Florida insurers ask for a four-point inspection on homes 30 years or older. It covers the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Updated systems usually make coverage easier to place.

Condo buyers should also know Florida's 2022 condo safety law. It requires milestone structural inspections for buildings three stories or taller as they age. It also requires a structural integrity reserve study. Before you sign, request both reports and the current reserve balance.

Here is what the median Longwood Towers price means in Florida closing terms. At $350,000, a 20% down payment comes to about $70,000, leaving a loan near $280,000.

Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $980. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $560. Buyers normally pay both at closing.

On the seller side, Miami-Dade charges deed stamps of 60 cents per $100 on a single-family home, about $2,100 at this price. Condos and other property types pay a higher rate.

Finally, owner-occupants should file for the Florida homestead exemption by March 1. It removes up to $50,000 of assessed value. After that, Save Our Homes caps yearly assessment increases at 3% or inflation, whichever is lower. To see what these numbers mean for your budget, get pre-approved before you tour.
