How professionals adjust comps
A licensed appraiser or agent doesn’t just average recorded prices — they adjust each comparable sale for differences from the unit in question, then reconcile a range. The factors they typically weigh:
- Bedrooms/bathrooms and layout — more bedrooms or a better floor plan usually support a higher price.
- Size (square footage) — adjustments are often made on a price-per-square-foot basis.
- Condition and renovations — updated kitchens, baths, and systems versus original/dated finishes.
- Floor and view — higher floors, water views, or corner units often carry a premium in the same building.
Our rent-reasonableness field program (below) collects several of these same attributes — bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage — for rental units, which is why you’ll see them again in the rent context panel. We do not compute or publish adjustment dollar values on this page; that judgment call belongs to a licensed appraiser, broker, or agent who can inspect the unit.
What it really costs
Your scenario, your math — nothing here is a quoteHidden fees checklist — Florida condos
- Estoppel certificate fee — capped at $250 if the unit isn’t delinquent (+$100 if you need it expedited within 3 business days; capped at $150 if the unit is delinquent) — Fla. Stat. §718.116(8).
- Capital contribution / transfer fee — some associations charge one at closing; the estoppel certificate must disclose whether one is due and its amount — Fla. Stat. §718.116(8).
- Special assessments — the buyer must receive the milestone inspection summary, turnover inspection report, and SIRS before signing, with a voidability window if not delivered — Fla. Stat. §718.503.
- Milestone inspection / SIRS-driven assessments — buildings 3+ habitable stories need a milestone inspection at 30 years (every 10 years after) and a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years; both can trigger a special assessment — Fla. Stat. §553.899, Fla. Stat. §718.112(2)(g).
- Flood insurance — required by most lenders in a mapped flood zone, on top of the association’s master policy; ask your lender whether it applies here.
