Inventory is limited and consists mainly of high-end single-family estates, along with a small number of condominiums. Buyers should evaluate seawalls, docks, flood zone, elevation, and insurance costs as part of due diligence.
Manalapan is primarily made up of large oceanfront and lakefront estates, with lush landscaping and private docks.
Review the HOA, condominium, or club documents, budget, and fees carefully before you make an offer, and ask whether any special assessments are planned. If you are buying a condominium, ask for recent milestone inspection reports and the structural integrity reserve study, which Florida law requires for many condominium buildings three stories or taller, since they can affect future assessments.
Look up the property's flood zone on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get homeowners and flood insurance quotes early. Insurance can significantly affect your monthly cost, and a lender may require flood insurance depending on the zone.
Ask the seller for the roof's age and a wind mitigation inspection report. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for qualifying wind-resistant features, such as impact-rated windows or shutters and stronger roof attachments, so these features can lower your premium. You can look up the property's hurricane evacuation zone through Palm Beach County Emergency Management.
If the home will be your primary residence, apply for Florida's homestead exemption with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after you purchase. Once a home is homesteaded, Florida's Save Our Homes provision limits yearly increases in its assessed value to 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower.
