Based on the listing: 904 sq ft · built 1968 · 15 stories · impact windows / shutters.
Dwelling coverage uses living area × county rebuilding cost. Selling price and land value are not included. The monthly estimate includes fees and applicable taxes.
Broward inland rates were calibrated against two supplied policies; other county and coastal rates have not yet been calibrated against real quotes.
Assumed where the listing is silent: concrete-block construction · coastal rating band · roof 6–15 years old · gable roof · standard finish · 2% hurricane deductible · admitted carrier; no surplus-lines tax. A newer roof, a hip roof shape, or a higher deductible can lower the premium; frame construction can raise it.
Educational estimate only, not an insurance quote. Actual premiums depend on the carrier, inspections, discounts, and underwriting. Flood insurance not included. Simon Gedz is a Realtor, not a licensed insurance agent.
The FEMA map is a strong indication, not the final answer: your lender orders its own flood zone determination. Cash buyers are not required to carry flood insurance, but on the water it is strongly recommended.
Florida rule: by 2027, Citizens policyholders must carry flood insurance even outside a flood zone, unless the Citizens policy excludes wind coverage. The FEMA map does not show this.
How flood insurance is priced (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0)
Flood insurance is priced home by home, so two neighbors on the same canal can pay very different amounts. Premiums depend on the home's elevation (first-floor height above the expected flood level), distance to water (ocean, Intracoastal, canal or river), the type of flood risk (storm surge, heavy rain or river overflow), the cost to rebuild, the foundation and construction type, and past flood claims on the property.
Federal flood insurance (NFIP) pays at most $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for contents. A luxury waterfront home needs private flood insurance or an "excess flood" policy on top.
Before an offer: pull the official FEMA flood map (FIRMette), ask the seller for an elevation certificate (it largely decides the price), ask whether the seller's existing NFIP policy can be transferred to you (sometimes at a lower rate), and have an insurance agent check prior flood claims (CLUE report). New NFIP policies usually have a 30-day wait before they take effect — don't leave it until the week of closing.

What buyers ask about this home
What are the estimated monthly carrying costs at 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308?+
Property tax (after sale): $712/month est.; homeowners insurance: $223/month est.; HOA: $489/month. Fixed ownership costs before a mortgage: $1,424/month est. Principal and interest: $2,901/month; PMI: $0/month. Total for the payment scenario shown: $4,324/month est. Flood insurance is not included. Estimate only, not guaranteed. Verify before you buy or sell.
Will property taxes go up after I buy 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308?+
Usually yes. In Florida the assessed value resets to market value in the year after a sale, so the seller's current tax bill is rarely what a new owner pays. Budget roughly 1.8–2.0% of the purchase price annually until you file for homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes cap (or the 10% non-homestead cap) starts limiting increases.
Does 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308 need flood insurance, and what drives the premium?+
Most of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea sits in a FEMA flood zone, and lenders require flood coverage in high-risk zones. Premiums are driven by elevation certificate, flood zone, roof age and shape, and whether the home has impact windows or accordion shutters. Ask for the current declarations page, the four-point inspection and wind mitigation report early — they set your real cost of ownership.
What should I check about the association before buying 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308?+
For a Florida condo, review the milestone structural inspection and the Structural Integrity Reserve Study, current reserve balances, any pending or recently voted special assessment, the association's insurance and its litigation history. Ask how many units are owner-occupied and whether the lender will approve the building — a poorly funded association is the single biggest hidden cost in a condo purchase.
Can 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308 be rented out?+
Rental rules are set by the association's documents, not the MLS. Many Lauderdale-By-The-Sea luxury buildings limit leases to once or twice a year with a minimum term and require board approval and an application fee. Request the declaration and rules before your inspection period ends if rental income matters to your plan.
Is there room to negotiate on 6000 N Ocean Boulevard 2a, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL 33308?+
This listing has been on the market 174 days. Leverage comes from days on market, price history, comparable closed sales and the seller's motivation — not from a fixed percentage. I pull the full history and the true comps before we write, so the offer is built on what the property is actually worth today. Call or text (954) 562-1798 for that analysis.
