What River Bend actually is

River Bend In Cocoa Beach, Florida

River Bend is a waterfront condominium on Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach, in the 32931 zip code, built in 2001. All four units that came to market in the last twelve months were waterfront.

Units run 2,050 to 2,450 square feet with 3 to 3 bedrooms, at about $189 per square foot. The median sale over the last twelve months was $415,000, in a range from $400,000 to $450,000.

Monthly fees run $860 a month, and the median annual property tax was $4,662. Add those together before you compare this building against another on sale price alone, because the monthly picture is not what the list price suggests.

The value here is unusual. Every unit is a three bedroom over 2,000 square feet, and the median sale was $415,000, which works out to about $189 per square foot. That is the lowest price per foot of any building in Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral, roughly half what most beachside buildings command.

Where the money goes

River Bend Costs, Honestly

On a condominium the fee is only the first of three questions that decide what you actually pay.

Monthly Fee

$860 a month

A flat $860 a month across the building. On a 2001 structure the pressing structural questions of the 1970s towers do not apply in the same way, though the reserve study is still worth reading.

Milestone Inspection And Reserves

Ask before you offer

Florida requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for older multi story condominium buildings, and the findings drive both reserve funding and the odds of a special assessment. We request the milestone status, the reserve study and the last two years of board minutes before you go under contract.

Real Negotiating Room

About 90 percent of original list

A 60 day median with closings near 90 percent of the original asking price. That is genuine leverage, and a well supported offer below asking is normal here rather than aggressive.
