Fort Lauderdale Condos for Sale Under $500,000

Find the Fort Lauderdale condo that fits your life, with the association, the fees and the offer understood before you commit.

Live BeachesMLS listings matching this search in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, updated throughout the day.

The entry level of the Fort Lauderdale condo market is mostly older buildings: co-ops and condos on the Galt Ocean Mile, mid-rise buildings in Coral Ridge near the Intracoastal, and garden-style complexes west of Federal Highway. Many were built decades ago, and Florida's condominium safety law now requires milestone structural inspections and funded reserves, which has led some associations to raise dues or levy special assessments. Before you offer, ask for the latest inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment already approved. Financing matters too: a co-op or a building a lender will not approve can mean a cash purchase or a portfolio loan. A lower list price in Fort Lauderdale is only a bargain once the association's finances check out.

Buying a Fort Lauderdale Condo With Representation

A Fort Lauderdale condo is two purchases, the unit and the building. Before you offer we read the survey, the permit history, the roof and wind mitigation reports, the flood zone and the insurance quotes, the association file where there is one, and the seawall, the dock and the depth at the dock on a waterfront lot, compare the building with the ones you are weighing it against, and confirm that a lender will write a loan in it if you need one.

  • The association file read before you offer, not after
  • Fee per square foot, reserves and leasing rules compared across your shortlist
  • Showings through the front desk and valet, or by video if you are not in town
  • New listings and price drops in the buildings you follow, sent the day they list
