Top 4 Tips to Finding the Perfect Beachfront Home Along 30A

Who doesn’t dream of having a beachfront property? Waking up to the sounds of the ocean, watching beautiful sunsets day after day, having a refuge to escape from your busy life - these are what lures many to buy beachfront homes along 30A.

However, there are some things you need to know before buying a 30A beachfront home. If you decide too soon, or make an uninformed decision, your dream home could turn into a nightmare if you do not take the time to know some important items before buying a 30A beachfront home for sale.

1. Research the Location

Spend time in the area where you wish to buy a 30A luxury home for sale. If possible, you could even rent a home nearby so you could get a feel of how it is to live there and talk to the neighbors. Check out the proximity of the home to important spots like grocery stores, medical facilities, shops, restaurants, etc., depending on which places are most important to your.

2. Know Your Neighbors

Neighbors are the first persons who will be able to help you find your way around. Avoid buying beachfront homes in remote and hard to reach locations. Remote areas could be appealing to burglars and could prove difficult during times of emergency. 

3. Work with an Experienced Realtor When Looking for 30A Homes For Sale

Only an experienced Realtor will know the ins and outs of the 30A luxury home market both during peak and off-peak season.

A real estate agent specializing in the local luxury market will be able to determine the market value of a home and use that as a guide for your offer. Be sure you hire an agent who specializes in luxury homes since pricing for regular homes is completely different.

An agent specializing in luxury homes also has a large network which they can tap into for potential 30A luxury home listings before they hit the market.

4. Get a Home Inspection

Home Inspections should be a done when buying a luxury 30A home, especially those along the shoreline. A home inspection can uncover any signs of wear and tear brought about by the sea, storms, and age. An inspector can tell whether a house has been flooded and if it happens very often. Flood waters can severely damage electrical systems and foundations, which are very costly to repair.

A 30A luxury home, whether it will be your primary or vacation/investment home, is something you may keep in the family for generations to come and should be a purchase that is well thought-out. If you take the time to research, plan, and select the best agent to help you in buying the best 30A beachfront home for sale, your dream could turn into a reality instead of a nightmare.
