Types of Florida home sales
In Florida, home sales are influenced by the type of property being sold. Each offers features, benefits, and considerations for sellers. It's essential to thoroughly research and evaluate the specific characteristics and requirements in Florida and the county of transaction before going through with a sale. At The Levy Firm PLLC, we help facilitate home sale transactions involving these and other types of property:
- Residential Property. This includes single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, duplexes, triplexes, and other types of properties primarily used for residential purposes. Depending on the type of home, its purpose, and location, various rules and regulations may apply.
- New Construction. You’ve invested a lot into constructing the property. Make sure to carefully review the terms and warranties in your contract and ensure that your interests are fully covered.
- Condominiums. Condos are individual units within a larger complex or building residential properties that usually come with special rules for sale. If there is a Homeowners’ Association, the HOA may have contract requirements about sale price, timing, and who the buyer is.
- Vacation Homes, Second Homes, and Investment Properties. Whether you used this property for personal enjoyment or rental income, sellers should consider factors such as location, appreciation, tax consequences, and local ordinances when selling a home that is not your primary residence.
- Mixed-Use Development. Mixed-use developments integrate residential, commercial, and sometimes industrial or institutional uses within a single property or complex, providing a diverse range of amenities and services in one location. Selling this type of property is often complicated with various contracts with renters to consider. Geoff can provide meticulous analysis of your situation and conduct thorough due diligence to ensure you don’t lose a penny on the deal.
- Historic Properties with Restrictions. Historic homes or properties listed on historic registers offer unique character and charm but may have copious rules and restrictions about the terms of sale and how the property can be used, renovated, or improved in the future.
