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.

Playa Del Mar includes waterfront homes. Waterfront lots in South Florida often sit in FEMA special flood hazard areas, where lenders require flood insurance. Before you commit, look up the address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and ask the seller for an elevation certificate.

Rentals in Playa Del Mar have a median asking rent of $4,450 per month, across 4 active rental listings. For comparison, the Fort Lauderdale median is $2,600, so rents here run 71% higher.

For investors, those medians imply a gross yield near 7.1% a year. However, that figure comes before HOA dues, property tax, insurance and vacancy. Also check the association documents first, because many Florida HOAs cap leases or set minimum terms.

Here is what the median Playa Del Mar price means in Florida closing terms. At $750,000, a 20% down payment comes to about $150,000, leaving a loan near $600,000.

Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $2,100. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $1,200. Buyers normally pay both at closing.

On the seller side, Florida deed stamps cost 70 cents per $100 of price. At the Playa Del Mar median, that is about $5,250.

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.
