Buying a home in Central or South Florida means comparing more than prices. Insurance, flood zones, HOA rules, and property taxes all change what a home really costs.
Alex walks you through each one, from the first showing to closing.
How buying works
- Get ready.Get preapproved with a lender and budget the full monthly cost, not just the mortgage.
- Search and compare.Compare areas, condition, and running costs. Find out what to inspect before you commit.
- Offer and close.Price, contingencies, the inspection period, and every deadline through closing.
