If you are interested in Condominiums Downtown Sarasota, you need to know a few things before purchasing. The first thing you want to do is certain that your condo fees are sufficient enough for what you expect out of your apartment and amenities and not overpaying for something you may never use or if they’re paying more than $100 per square foot. For those looking at spending $200,000+ on a property with 1-2 bedrooms, this average property should have some great amenities such as a theater room or club room, pool & (indoor/outdoor), exercise room, social room with big screen television/cinema or internet café, business center with computer stations, valet service that services the whole development, 24 hour security with watched parking lots.
Now let’s talk about location. When thinking of Condominiums Downtown Sarasota look at how far it is from the Main Street, the beaches (Lido or Siesta Key), and the Blvd. Of the Arts area with St Armands Circle. Ideally, you want to be within walking distance to these areas as this will save you on gas, parking, or riding a bike everywhere. Another thing to consider is whether there is a view from your Condo/Apartment?
What about your condo unit itself? Well, if it’s older than ten years, an updated kitchen will always help, so those appliances being less than five years old should be considered right away. For health reasons, you also want a washer and dryer in-unit for convenience purposes. Other things to think of include: 1) Is there enough storage space? 2) Will I have a balcony or terrace? 3) Is there anything above the bedroom, i.e., closets, space for a bathroom and/or wardrobe room, etc.? 4) How fast do the elevators move?
Once you’ve answered all of these questions and feel like your condo purchase checks out, then great! You’re well on your way to finding that perfect place in Downtown Sarasota. However, if you discover you either didn’t answer all of the questions correctly or made a decision based on feelings rather than facts – STOP and wait 30 days before making any purchases. If after this time period (a bit longer than the average home search period), NOW is still what you want to do — then go ahead and make arrangements with a Real Estate Agent and get ready to sign all the paperwork and stay awhile in Downtown Sarasota.
