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.

Ridge Homes 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.
