Southampton is a gated community. Therefore, expect to register visitors and contractors with the gate before each visit.

Southampton 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.

Here is what the median Southampton price means in Florida closing terms. At $185,000, a 20% down payment comes to about $37,000, leaving a loan near $148,000.

Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $517. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $295. Buyers normally pay both at closing.

On the seller side, Florida deed stamps cost 70 cents per $100 of price. At the Southampton median, that is about $1,292.

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.
