Finding Zillow Homes For Sale Close To The Beach (West Coast of Florida Edition)

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Interested in the east coast version of this vid? Make sure you are SUBSCRIBED so you don’t miss it when it’s released 😊

[@chillinsquirrel7132]

Yes pls. We are thinking to move to east coast of FL from IL next year. Especially, the area between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Thanks for all informative videos you did, some even scare me off from the idea of moving lol but there's still a strong interest in that region.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@chillinsquirrel7132 Awesome, the east coast one is live and you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5PWaX6OfrJmfbM I think you are going to the best area though IMO. I am even thinking of moving to that area in the future, great choice!

[@antoniocognato5023]

looking for a home on the beach......., no more than 10 mill. nothing modern either!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@antoniocognato5023 Oh nice! Where are you looking at?

[@antoniocognato5023]

@@MichaelBordenaro between miami and fort Lauderdale. Its tough to find the right one. But alot of them are tooooo freakin modern and boring ! I see a few on zillow, 6mill, small, older homes. Dude, even vacant land is 25 million! Wtf

[@jamesstevens2591]

Some things to consider about a property near the beach are: elevation - if the living space is less than approx. 17’ above sea level, the mortgage holder will require flood insurance which is expensive, CMU or masonry construction is always better than wood frame for both potential wind damage and also less potential for termites. Elevation is also a factor in buying wind insurance which is always a separate policy in Florida and very expensive. If you can pay cash for the property you can avoid both wind and flood insurance. Metal standing metal roofs are also better in wind mitigation than tile or composition (asphalt type) roofing and are reflective in lower wind insurance premiums. Tile roofs are kind of a hazard, because if the tiles break off in a wind storm they become projectiles. You need either impact resistant glass windows or metal/lexan panels to cover windows/openings during windstorms. I agree with you about HOA for single family houses. Especially the gated developments which means that all of the roads are private and must be maintained by the HOA. Very expensive.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

All valid and true points James. There are more expenses involved with houses like this but that is the price to pay in order to be near the ocean if that is what you want and it is always good to know if you are in flood plain, even if you do pay cash👌

[@Columbus1152]

Pretty thorough advice, I would also add to insure any older (~25 y.o. or older?) homes on the water for replacement cost because if a hurricane eats your home, you'll have to build to current hurricane standards and that may mean building 8' off the ground.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@Columbus1152 Yes, also a good call. Being close to the beach comes with it's price!

[@TheMambomaster]

Always require an elevation certificate. check if you are in an impact debris zone. All of Pinellas County is debris impact. Check with building department on flood loss claims. see if the CRS rating for the community is. GET A COPY OF THE LOCAL FLOOD ORDINANCE

[@marlenedawnsandford1150]

You forgot wind insurance too

[@jacobwilson8873]

Planning on moving to Florida in a few years from Missouri and, my budget would probably be under 200k. The idea of living near a beach for these prices is very exciting to me!! I like hearing from a native Floridian that actually knows which areas are good. Thanks for the great content😃😃

It was definitely possible when I made this video, probably not anymore. I was thinking to do a follow up soon, and if not at what price point is is possible. Glad you liked the video !

I live in Punta Gorda where one of the houses is listed. Great smaller town on the water. Nice resturants on the water. Very popular for retirees. Would not bring a family here. Schools are not so good. Many waterfront homes for sale. Reasonably priced compared to Sarasota or Napels.

[@a.u.2035]

Michael, this was good content - Lord knows I have combed over Clearwater and St. Pete for decent homes and one of the big issues with those locations is most of the homes are so old (50's and 60's), they have to be renovated to be viable, and when the flippers do, they want 300,000 + for near about everyone of them - no matter how close to the beach!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thanks! Yes I’m hoping this video is an eye-opener for a lot of people who are either looking for a house in Florida but haven’t found anything good, or anyone who thinks it’s not affordable here👍

[@Brascobadboy]

East coast is so out of control. There is still Entry level on west

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@Brascobadboy Not true at all! I have an east version coming up and the houses I found there are arguably even better than the west coast houses at the same price point 👌

[@quez1741]

But you have to think about it to if you live close to the beach you have to have a really good house that can withstand hurricanes some people don’t think about it because wen hurricanes hit and your right by the beach and you don’t have a strong enough house to withstand it it might be bad

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes that is very true, although in this price range the houses are still far enough away from the beach in a lot of cases where at least you won't have to worry about storm surge as much, which is the biggest threat

[@user-bu3re7ft6i]

Thanks for video! Looking to retire to Tampa area from NY in 2 to 5 years and on-line research doesn't result in much less than $500,000 to $600,00 for 4 bedrooms with enclosed pool/spa. Mosquitoes will eat me alive. Those CDD's, HOA's and taxes are ridiculous too but the older houses without them are not energy-efficient I guess and need updating. So frustrating. So many houses are too close to each other in Florida, can't play music outdoors. I don't want anything too close to the water whether it's a beach, pond, or river due to flood insurance, hurricanes, alligators, snakes, etc lol. I'm a city girl. I like music and the nightlife.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Sounds like a condo might be better for you, based on your comments with bugs, water, gators etc. Also, it will be considerably cheaper than a house.

[@user-bu3re7ft6i]

@@MichaelBordenaro I grew up in apartment buildings in the Bronx then moved to the suburbs where I've lived 23 years so I don't think I ever want to move back to an apt again. I'm sure those gators aren't roaming the streets daily. I'll get a house further from the water and a pool with a lanai. I'll find a compromise somehow and I'm good at finding deals. I'll either find a highly motivated seller, move further north, or get a 3 bedroom with a den that can serve as a bedroom. Where there's a will there's a way.

"Cape Coral", like a "coral reef". Long generally bumper to bumper drive to interstate 75, lots of traffic, narrow streets, small lots, not a lot of character and not close to beach.

You mean, Cape COMA. My late uncle lived there for many years. Beautiful home, nice neighborhood, super quiet, but B-O-R-I-N-G. You will need to drive to Ft. Meyers to do anything outside a limited few restaurants or entertainment venues. It's a very low key, low energy place where NOTHING happens.

Two words: Flood Insurance.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes, that is a real expense, but not what the video is about.

[@twowheeledgator1364]

@@MichaelBordenaro I get that and my comment was not a flame or said in anger. But people seeing the video may not realize that the houses are underpriced for a reason and that flood insurance will be a significant cost adding to the actual cost of ownership. Someone may get their hopes up of living in a house near the water. That house may cost the same or less than the house they currently live in and not realize that, when adding the high cost of flood insurance, they may not be able to afford that house. Just part of the reason for them being lower cost IMHO. Keep good videos coming.

@@twowheeledgator1364 Don't worry, I didn't think it was in anger. It is a very valid point that you make.

Zillow it's a difficult app since they don't update the information often. Chances are that the home you really like is not available anymore.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

There are still plenty of decent deals out there, and without HOA's👍

[@Advillin]

Michael, great job and a great search. Do you have an address or an MLS number for the one on the beach? You should be getting your real estate license. I'm in Chicago Illinois thank God you got out of here it's socks

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thanks James why do people of asked about that. Check the comments in there was an address in there. I do know the house has since sold. I am a real estate agent down here LOL

[@dongshuowu3454]

Just found this amazing channel. Thanks for giving so much useful information, Michael! I’d love to rent a month to month studio/1bd at east coast FL wonder if that’s possible?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Welcome aboard! I'm stoked that you are finding value in my vids!! Yes you definitely can find a place like that. It will probably be a little more work to find a landlord who will agree to month to month, but there is always airbnb, and that might be your best bet👍

[@adasandhu3575]

What about the flood factor? and how bad the weather could be in Florida? I never been to Florida, so I have no ideas

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Check out my video from a few days ago about the flooding! That shows what it can bel like on a bad flooding day

[@lorrainemudd5022]

How expensive are condo's nearbeach?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

It highly depends on where, usually start around $200k and up depending on the area

[@pho3153]

How about a house near the beach or bay area with good school district

[@ishmaelmcduffey6676]

1k square feet for 180 k... no sir

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Its not for everyone

[@stephenmattner1396]

Sanibel or marco island?? Liked video were looking

[@MichaelBordenaro]

That's a tough choice!

[@davidlewis7960]

What are the property taxes on one of these?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

If you look up the listings you’ll be able to see what the property taxes are on each unit

[@jadeheart911]

Some nice options !!! Thanks !,

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes I think so too!

[@michaelrussell7310]

Can you please do the same video for homes near the beach, on the East Coast?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes I did do one a while ago, you can find on the channel 👍

[@BrisLS1]

7:48 Where is the listing? Just trolling, don't go to any trouble to find it. Thanks!

[@BrisLS1]

Nevermind - I see another reader asked already. Thx

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes everyone has been asking about this one lol, not sure how I missed putting up the address details, but the link is there. What a great deal!

[@jennifereileen]

Great info.. thank you

[@MichaelBordenaro]

My pleasure!

[@Jeannified]

Great video!!!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thank you!!

[@ginacardarella]

Wow i'm amazed so does that bring the property tax down i'm assuming If I ever decide to try and move the florida again i'm definitely calling you

[@Stephen.Giovanni]

What do you think about the coral gables area

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Fantastic area, it was even on my 10 best places to live video👌 It is a little pricey, but a great choice for SoFL that isn't the beach.

[@Stephen.Giovanni]

@@MichaelBordenaro what is the overall price difference u think between ft lauderdale and coral gables

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@Stephen.Giovanni Fort Lauderdale is definitely more affordable and there is beach, more of a beach party scene. Coral Gables is more expensive homes, elegant dining and classic spanish architecture. 2 Totally different places really

[@gracecardoso4440]

Is it cape corral or Cape Coral?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

🤷‍♂️

[@jonahhex9620]

With all the people moving to Florida {I don’t know if they’re only moving to Miami?} do you think this market will be gone soon? Like you said most homes around the country average $200-300,000

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Its hard to say, because FL also has a fair amount of new construction, and I dont think Florida will be the most popular place to move forever. Also, in my experience a lot of people come for a few years, and then leave. So there is also a lot of turnover here, which of course brings homes back on the market all the time

[@jonahhex9620]

@@MichaelBordenaro I didn’t realize there was such high turnover and I was wondering about whether Florida home building was saturated due to topography but I haven’t seen all your videos yet like sinkholes etc. Will probably take a year to catch up on all the videos you’ve made. I watched one of the ones you did a year ago earlier today

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@jonahhex9620 Yes that is one main difference between here and California as we do have an abundance of housing here and always adding more. Well it took me over a year to make all these vids, so I guess it will take a while to catch up haha😄

[@marionb9116]

Awesome video. I think I need a condo, though. Do you have one like that?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thank you! Not yet I don't. But a few people have requested it and I think I will do one soon👌

[@chgofirefighter]

What about property taxes?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

The property taxes are all included in the monthly for these houses👍

[@dougboyd7732]

Port St. Joe, what about the paper mill??

[@austinsmith5657]

Great finds!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thank you! I just released a brand new version of this today you might enjoy as well👌
