Florida remains one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the country. Whether you are looking for a primary residence in Central Florida or an investment property near the coast, success requires more than just a search—it requires a strategic approach.
Understand Homestead Exemptions
If you are moving to Florida permanently, the Homestead Exemption is a vital tool. It can decrease the taxable value of your primary residence by up to $50,000 and, more importantly, limits annual increases in assessed value.
Factor in "Total Cost"
In Florida, your monthly payment involves more than just principal and interest. Always account for homeowners' insurance (including windstorm coverage) and potential CDD (Community Development District) fees in newer developments.
The Value of Local Insights
Florida neighborhoods can change block by block. Understanding school zones, proximity to major hubs like Disney or Downtown Orlando, and future infrastructure plans is key to long-term value.
Prepare for the Pace
The Sunshine State's market moves fast. Having your pre-approval letter ready and your "must-have" list finalized before you start touring homes is the difference between winning an offer and missing out.
