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.
Estimates depend entirely on the figures you enter. Not a loan offer, quote, or financial advice.

Rates used: Doc stamp $0.70/$100 (all FL counties except Miami-Dade) or $1.05/$100 for Miami-Dade condos ($0.60 base + $0.45 surtax — a condo is non-single-family, so the higher rate applies) — FL Dept. of Revenue, Fla. Stat. §201.02. Owner’s title insurance: promulgated Florida rate — $5.75 per $1,000 on the first $100,000, $5.00 per $1,000 from $100,000–$1,000,000, $2.50 per $1,000 from $1M–$5M, $2.25 per $1,000 from $5M–$10M, $2.00 per $1,000 above $10M; $100 minimum premium; the price is rounded up to the next full $100 before rating. — Fla. Admin. Code R. 69O-186.003. Estoppel fee capped at $250 (current) / +$150 if delinquent / +$100 for a 3-business-day rush — Fla. Stat. §718.116(8)(f). Commission and mortgage payoff are your own inputs — nothing here defaults them for you.
This is arithmetic on your inputs, not an appraisal or a quote. It restates the sale price you entered against cited Florida statutory rates and your own cost inputs. It does not predict what your unit will actually sell for, and it is not tax, legal, or closing advice — your closing agent’s settlement statement is the authoritative figure.
