What Windward East actually is

Windward East In Cocoa Beach, Florida

Windward East is an oceanfront condominium on North Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach, in the 32931 zip code, built in 1978. All eight units that came to market in the last twelve months were waterfront on the Atlantic.

Units run 1,240 to 1,897 square feet with 2 to 3 bedrooms, at about $370 per square foot. The median sale over the last twelve months was $505,000, in a range from $475,000 to $650,000.

Monthly fees run $970 to $980 a month, and the median annual property tax was $4,296. 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 tax line is the pleasant surprise here. A $4,296 median annual bill is among the lowest of any Cocoa Beach oceanfront building, roughly half what Emerald Seas or Majestic Seas carry. The offsetting number is the fee, at $970 to $980 a month, which is on the high side for units this size.

Where the money goes

Windward East Costs, Honestly

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

Monthly Fee

$970 to $980 a month

$970 to $980 a month, high relative to unit size. On a 1978 building that fee should reflect a serious reserve schedule, and the reserve study and milestone status are where you verify it.

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 91 percent of original list

A 94 day median with closings near 91 percent of the original asking price. That is genuine leverage, and a well supported offer below asking is normal here rather than aggressive.
