Before you start you condo search there are a few items you must address. Remember owning a condo you will have monthly condo fees that cover building insurance, daily maintenance, management and utilities. Instead of paying several different vendors when you own a home you write that monthly check to the condo association and they pay the bills. You also have property taxes based on the value of your home. These are two fixed costs that are always going to be here.

Your basic Jupiter oceanfront carry costs
Monthly condo fees can run from $300/month to well over a $1,000/ month depending upon your amenities and buildings. A no frills condo with just a community pool may be $300/month while you add 24 hour manned security, on-site property manager and staff as well as garage parking and numerous amenities you can easily reach $1,000/month. Oceanfront condos also will require much more maintenance and carrying costs than a non -oceanfront building. Don’t be surprised when a special assessment is announced for balcony work, paving the parking lot or replacing windows. Many of the older oceanfront condos are hitting the age where concrete restoration is an on going project. Look at past and future projects as well as lifespans left on roofs and other common properties.
Your yearly property taxes are paid in arrears here in Florida and property taxes are based on assessed values which is closely related to the sales price. In 2015 you can expect a 2% multiplier based on your sales price for an annual tax bill. That $500,000 condo will be an annual $10,000/year tax bill. As you can see between taxes and condo fees you may have a pretty hefty monthly bill before paying your mortgage.
