Where the money goes

Waters Edge Costs, Honestly

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

Monthly Fee

$895 to $1,005 a month

$895 to $1,005 a month, which is high relative to unit size. On a 1979 building that fee should be funding a serious reserve schedule, and the reserve study is where you find out whether it is.

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.

Moderate Negotiating Room

About 95 percent of original list

A 97 day median with closings near 95 percent of asking. Enough room for a considered offer, not enough to lowball.
