Local Insight
At $115/sqft for a four-bedroom condo built in 1972, you're getting decent per-square-foot value, but factor in that $499 monthly HOA on top of your mortgage—that's a significant fixed cost that can add $6,000 yearly. The 55+ community restriction means limited buyer pool down the road if you ever want to resell, which typically affects liquidity and appreciation potential. The X500 flood zone is a genuine plus for this Sarasota property, but you'll want to inspect closely given the age and understand what capital improvements have been made to the building structure.
