Tax note.
You will be paying real estate taxes at closing even if you pay them monthly with your
mortgage payment. The lender will reimburse you for the amount left in the tax account
after your loan is paid. The tax you pay will be prorated. You will owe tax for each day
you owned the property from January 1st until the closing date. For example, if your
closing is July first you will owe 6 months of the annual tax bill at closing. The tax is
credited to the buyer so when the tax bill comes the buyer will be responsible for paying.
Packing Tips
Before you begin, make plans to carry with you any medications, valuables, flammable,
unsafe, perishable or irreplaceable items. A change of clothing, toiletries, moving
related documents, keys and maps would be other things to set aside. Other items that
you may want to carry with you include your address book, phone to plug into at your
new home, a hammer, screw driver, pliers, adjustable wrench, duct tape, masking tape,
and a knife. A towel, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, sponges and cleaning supplies
may also come in handy at your new home. Pack least used items in advance and try to
keep items from the same room together. Remember too that lots of people move on
the first of the month and on weekends, so make reservations for your mover or truck
well in advance. Keep all of your boxes manageable with heavy items in smaller boxes
and lighter item in bigger boxes. Clearly mark each box for the room it is going to so on
arrival, everything will be easier to identify. Donate items or have a yard sale to reduce
what you will need to pack and move.
Packing supplies
Set up a packing area
- You will probably need twice as many boxes (or more) than you originally planned
- Bubble wrap and newspaper for wrapping things
- Pens and markers
- Tape measure
- Packing tape and scissors
- Twine or rope
- Furniture pads or old sheets and blankets
- Box cutter/knife
Moving tips
A few hints to help with the moving experience.
--Many people move on the first of the month and on weekends so be sure to make arrangements
for movers or truck rentals a couple months in advance.
-- The closer you get to moving day the more hectic things may become. Plan ahead and do some
of the things early, like sending change of address notes to friends, family etc. Other things you
can do early include:
-- Decide what you will not move and have a yard sale or donate the items. Clean out the closets,
garage, attic and basement.
-- Make a packing plan.
-- Have any needed service to your vehicle done.
-- Arrange for insurance and utilities for your new home.
--Arrange for transfer of medical, dental, school and other records.
-- Plan transportation and care for any pets.
-- Set up your “packing station” and begin putting things there to get ready.
-- Set aside an area to put important documents and other items you will be keeping with you on
moving day. As you come across an item, put it in that area. Also keep a pad of paper and pen
there and list items you want to carry with you and check them off as you locate them.
-- Look through your bank statements to make a list of accounts to cancel and others to notify of
your address change.
-- Return items you borrowed from friends and neighbors.
-- If you are moving to a new community set up a bank account there.
-- Plan to use food in the freezer and pantry so there will be less to pack and move.
-- Begin packing things you will not use before you move. Holiday decorations are a perfect
example. Be sure to clearly label each box and list contents. Mark each box with your new home
location.

**These Condo buildings are directly on the beach
* these sales involved a lender as a short sale or foreclosure.
There are many reasons why there are wide variations in sales prices within the same condo building. Some of the factors include:
1. Condo units on the first floor are always more difficult to sell and usually command a lower price. Everybody wants a better view and more security.
2. The condition of the unit is important especially if there have been updates and if hurricane shutters have been added.
3. End units and those that directly face the ocean usually bring a higher price.
4. Bank owned units are generally less desirable and bring lower prices.
