The range straddles 2002, when Florida adopted its statewide building code. Therefore two similar-looking homes here can carry very different insurance premiums. Ask for the wind mitigation report on any home you consider, since it drives much of that difference.

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.

For investors, those medians imply a gross yield near 2.3% 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 Buena Vista Heights price means in Florida closing terms. At $1.37M, a 20% down payment comes to about $275,000, leaving a loan near $1.1M.

Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $3,849. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $2,199. 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 $8,247 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.
