Coastal homes are special, but there are a few things you want to know more about before putting in an offer! These are the 5 things we’d suggest checking before moving in: 🌴🌾🌊
• Elevation matters. Ask how high the living space sits.
• Flood zone matters too. Two homes on one street can carry different risk.
• Get insurance quotes early. Wind + flood costs can change the monthly number fast.
• Check for salt-air wear. Roofs, windows and HVAC age faster near the coast.
• Think about resale now. Access, parking, storage and lot position still matter later.
