Experts are starting to make their 2023 home and condo price forecasts for 2023. As they do, most agree condos will continue to gain value, just at a slower pace than the prior 3 years.

Question: I am an owner of a condominium in Florida. There was recently a fire in an adjoining unit that caused damage to my unit. What is covered by my insurance policy versus the condominium’s insurance policy?
Answer: Generally speaking, the condominium association insures your building and the common elements of the building under an insurance policy, typically called the master policy. As a general statement, master policies cover the basic building (i.e., the walls, roof system, flooring, elevators, etc.) and not items associated with the individual units.

If the contract you signed is an “AS-IS” contract, and you are in a seller’s market, it is very likely that you will not be able to have much success in negotiating for the seller to take care of any items. Assuming your seller is reasonable, you may be able to negotiate for items that reasonably should be in
We are sometimes asked: What is the Condo Law in Florida on Charging Stations?
Condo owners, like any other owner of electric cars, need a place to charge them. Sometimes it is a matter of cost, and most times buyers of condos need to know their rights before they sign a contract to purchase a condo. Since this is a relatively new topic in condominium law, many condo associations will be confused as to the rights of unit owners, and the obligations of the condo associations.
For condominiums, Florida Statutes 718.113 (8) provides:
