Finding Zillow Homes For Sale Close To The Beach (West Coast of Florida Edition)

Рет қаралды 120,749

Күн бұрын

To my surprise, I was able to find quite a few Zillow homes for sale close to the beach in my search for good deals, that are affordable. One of them is even ON THE BEACH! And ALL of them are at or below $200K!!
People say Florida is not affordable, and I am here to debunk that myth, because this video is proof, that there are MANY affordable homes in Florida close to the beach, that are a fraction of the cost of similar homes in other coastal states like New York or California.

@jamesstevens2591 3 жыл бұрын

Some things to consider about a property near the beach are: elevation - if the living space is less than approx. 17’ above sea level, the mortgage holder will require flood insurance which is expensive, CMU or masonry construction is always better than wood frame for both potential wind damage and also less potential for termites. Elevation is also a factor in buying wind insurance which is always a separate policy in Florida and very expensive. If you can pay cash for the property you can avoid both wind and flood insurance. Metal standing metal roofs are also better in wind mitigation than tile or composition (asphalt type) roofing and are reflective in lower wind insurance premiums. Tile roofs are kind of a hazard, because if the tiles break off in a wind storm they become projectiles. You need either impact resistant glass windows or metal/lexan panels to cover windows/openings during windstorms. I agree with you about HOA for single family houses. Especially the gated developments which means that all of the roads are private and must be maintained by the HOA. Very expensive.

@MichaelBordenaro 3 жыл бұрын

All valid and true points James. There are more expenses involved with houses like this but that is the price to pay in order to be near the ocean if that is what you want and it is always good to know if you are in flood plain, even if you do pay cash👌

@Columbus1152 3 жыл бұрын

Pretty thorough advice, I would also add to insure any older (~25 y.o. or older?) homes on the water for replacement cost because if a hurricane eats your home, you'll have to build to current hurricane standards and that may mean building 8' off the ground.

But people seeing the video may not realize that the houses are underpriced for a reason and that flood insurance will be a significant cost adding to the actual cost of ownership. Someone may get their hopes up of living in a house near the water. That house may cost the same or less than the house they currently live in and not realize that, when adding the high cost of flood insurance, they may not be able to afford that house.

But you have to think about it to if you live close to the beach you have to have a really good house that can withstand hurricanes some people don’t think about it because wen hurricanes hit and your right by the beach and you don’t have a strong enough house to withstand it it might be bad

@MichaelBordenaro 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that is very true, although in this price range the houses are still far enough away from the beach in a lot of cases where at least you won't have to worry about storm surge as much, which is the biggest threat

Hi Michael. I am not a US citizen but Canadian. Live outside Canada now. Do you have any idea whether I can buy a house/condo in Florida?

@MichaelBordenaro 2 жыл бұрын

Yes absolutely you can buy property down here in Florida. The main factor is how long will you be able to spend time there is the question for all foreigners. I believe Canadians can spend up to six months in the US on a tourist visa

Just saw this video and I have watched several of your other videos. I’m curious why you are a realtor in Miami and yet spend a lot of time researching homes all over the state of Florida? I assumed you would only be doing real estate deals in the Miami area. Do you do real estate deals in Sarasota as well? I’m planning to move to Sarasota in the next few months, and assumed that only a local realtor in that area would know the real estate there.

Zillow it's a difficult app since they don't update the information often. Chances are that the home you really like is not available anymore. They just like to attack people so they call the agents in the site that pay a fee to be there. Also something very important to to look at it the association fee (HOA or association). Most of the times when the price is great the HOA is very high. There are many app out there that have updated info. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

With all the people moving to Florida {I don’t know if they’re only moving to Miami?} do you think this market will be gone soon? Like you said most homes around the country average $200-300,000

@MichaelBordenaro 3 жыл бұрын

Its hard to say, because FL also has a fair amount of new construction, and I dont think Florida will be the most popular place to move forever. Also, in my experience a lot of people come for a few years, and then leave. So there is also a lot of turnover here, which of course brings homes back on the market all the time

@jonahhex9620 3 жыл бұрын

@@MichaelBordenaro I didn’t realize there was such high turnover and I was wondering about whether Florida home building was saturated due to topography but I haven’t seen all your videos yet like sinkholes etc. Will probably take a year to catch up on all the videos you’ve made.

I’ve done my looking around, I plan on moving to Florida by the end of the decade. Deciding between Clearwater beach area, or somewhere between Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach, but the thing I’ve noticed in the areas I’m most interested in moving to don’t have affordable homes on the beach, just condos, so my question for you is can you remodel a condo? Are the laws for remodeling a condo in a building different from single family homes?

@MichaelSims94 3 жыл бұрын

Tarzan that’s what I though, HOA is in the way, but how difficult could that be? If you buy a dilapidated condo, remodel it therefore raising the value, why would HOA not approve the remodeling?

@MichaelBordenaro 3 жыл бұрын

All good choices, and yes its true, these places virtually have no single family homes on the beach and the ones that do exist are into the several millions. You can remodel a condo. You need to get approval / permits from condo association and the proper city permits. So best to do the full remodel all at once, to avoid having to go through the permitting process twice.

Michael Bordenaro yes, that would be my plan to do all the remodeling at once. I saw a 2 bedroom condo on Hallandale beach for 160,000 but needs updating. I am loving that area the more research I do, and how close it is to many beautiful beaches, and seems like a good area to live if you are still working.

@MichaelBordenaro 3 жыл бұрын

@@MichaelSims94 Yes, I think that is a good plan. And for a place that low in price, you can splurge on the remodel and really love the place, and Hallandale is pretty affordable and nearby to a lot like you said👍
