Homes listed in Sawgrass Lakes date from 2010 to 2019. That puts them between 7 and 16 years old.

Every one of these homes went up after Florida adopted its statewide building code in 2002. In practice, that usually means impact-rated openings and stronger roof attachment. A wind mitigation inspection documents those features, and Florida insurers must offer premium discounts for them.

Rentals in Sawgrass Lakes have a median asking rent of $3,600 per month, across 5 active rental listings. For comparison, the Sunrise median is $2,400, so rents here run 50% higher.

For investors, those medians imply a gross yield near 5.5% 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 Sawgrass Lakes price means in Florida closing terms. At $780,000, a 20% down payment comes to about $156,000, leaving a loan near $624,000.

Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $2,183. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $1,247. Buyers normally pay both at closing.

On the seller side, Florida deed stamps cost 70 cents per $100 of price. At the Sawgrass Lakes median, that is about $5,457.

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.
