Waterfront-Specific Context
Waterfront pricing is strongly impacted by insurability, seawall/dock condition, and long-term maintenance exposure—not just view premium.
What to Verify Before Offer
- Flood/wind insurance scenarios
- Seawall and dock permits/condition
- Drainage and storm history
- True monthly carry cost at target financing terms
High-Impact Mistake
Buyers often underwrite to listing emotion rather than risk-adjusted value. Use adjusted comparables and insurability checks first.
