Mims is a community in north Brevard, just north of Titusville.
Selling a condo in Florida has more paperwork than selling a house, and the rules have changed several times in the last few years. If you have heard about building inspections, reserve studies or special assessments and felt your stomach drop, you are not alone.
What this means in Mims
- The typical owner-occupied home in Mims is worth about $235,700, 31% below the Brevard County typical value. At about 6–8% total selling costs, that is roughly $14,100–$18,900 on a typical sale here; your own number depends on your price and mortgage.
- About 31% of homes in Mims were built before 1980. Older Florida homes often need a 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling) before an insurer will cover them, so having one done early can stop surprises after you accept an offer.
- To look up a home's flood zone in Mims, use Brevard County Floodplain Administration (Flood Zone Information). A home's flood zone decides whether a lender requires flood insurance.
What’s different for you
- Send the condo papers. The buyer gets the association’s papers, and their 7-day review starts then.
- Share the building’s inspections. Milestone inspection summaries and the reserve study, or a note that there isn’t one.
- Order the estoppel letter. It shows what’s owed so it can be paid at closing.
