My wife and I were down there for the first two weeks of January. Oceanfront on Coco Plum. Beautiful. Now back home in Canada and missing it. We only rent through realtors.

Mark & Laurie, Didn't you have a condo for sale on Oct 16, 2023 in this same condo complex which was unit 2-106 for $650,000. The problem with these condos are the HOA fees are really high if someone decides to buy. I really enjoyed this video also. You both always do a great job.
@GablesOnTheGo6 ай бұрын
Yes, we still have one ground floor unit left. It was at $650k but is now at $699k....but give us a call, the owner is ready to sell! Keep in mind the Association fees include building insurance, if you've priced insurance here you know what a chunk that is of that fee!

Grew up and lived in the keys for 40 years… glad I’m gone. It’s nice 3 months a year and unbearable heat, humidity the othe 9. Not a place to enjoy the beach if u like waves for surfing, skimboarding or boogie boarding ect…. Glad I lived there but quality of life and a little change of seasons is much more pleasant for this 54 year old on Hilton Head island, SC Like the videos ❤

Seems to me the slower rental market could well be a result of the increase in prices over the past several years. Exploding real estate values translates directly to rental rates. Think it may be out of the reach financially for many, especially the 28 night minimum zones. Look at what it now costs to launch a boat in Marathon and park your trailer and vehicle at the ramp for a few hours. It all adds up.
@ttb15136 ай бұрын
How much does the boat launch cost, roughly?

Hey Mark incase you haven't heard, people don't have the money this year. Or the Next or there after. Only 1% of the population has any money

Has it ever been flooded from hurricane season storm surge? Thank you. First floor unit .
@GablesOnTheGo6 ай бұрын
Not that the owner is aware of. During Irma it took some water through the soffits according to the last owners, but flooding we are not aware of. Obviously it is in pristine condition now.

How reliable are the yearly taxes on various real estate websites like Zillow? I heard that if you're going to buy a house in Florida they revalue the home based on the sale price which could REALLY raise the taxes. Conversely, I also read on the Florida State Tax website that property taxes are capped at a 3% increase per year. We're considering buying on Marathon but if the taxes are going to go to $12k a year that could be a deal breaker.
@GablesOnTheGo6 ай бұрын
You are correct in thinking that what you see online for taxes is NOT what you should expect to pay once you purchase the home. I would advise you to consult with local government for the tax info, but I will tell you that a general rule of thumb here for property tax is roughly one percent of what you pay for the property will be a good estimate of what your tax will be. So if you see "current property taxes" on a listing somewhere...that is what the current owner is paying and not what you as the new owner will be paying once the home is re-assessed after your purchase.

My husband and I rent a condo at Continental Inn Beachside. We have been going there for 4 years and we love it. We just got back from two weeks down there. Random question for you Mark... We were at Publix and I thought I saw you there. Did you happen to go there on Friday the 26th around 5:30 pm? I told my husband it really looked like you and I want to to say hi but I chickend out :)
@GablesOnTheGo6 ай бұрын
Yep, I was in Publix on Friday....if you saw a kinda funny looking guy with a shaved head...it was most likely me I'm in there all the time...love to cook!

Am I reading the HOA fee correctly!?! $6,625 per quarter and it only covers - Bldg Exterior Mnt, Cable, Common Area Mnt, Sewer!?!?! That sounds super sketchy.
@GablesOnTheGo6 ай бұрын
The fee also includes building insurance. That's a big expense down here as you may know. Thanks for watching!
