Selling a condo in Pompano Beach

Short answer

Confirm three things before you list a Pompano Beach condo: whether the building's milestone inspection is due at 25 or 30 years, whether the reserve study or SIRS is current, and whether the project is financeable for a typical buyer. Those answers shape price, timing, and which offers can actually close.

01

The building's age decides your first deadline

Florida Statutes §553.899 requires a milestone inspection for condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more in height, performed by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years of age, and every 10 years after that.

The coastal exception matters here

The statute lets a local enforcement agency determine that local circumstances — including environmental conditions such as proximity to salt water — require the inspection by December 31 of the year the building reaches 25 years of age. This is a local determination, not an automatic distance rule. In a coastal Broward city, confirm the applicable age with the local building department instead of assuming the 30-year default.

For a seller, the practical question is not the statute in the abstract. It is whether the inspection has happened, what it found, and what the association decided to do about it — because a buyer and their lender will ask.

02

Reserves and SIRS shape the buyer's confidence

A structural integrity reserve study establishes what the building must reserve for. Where a study is complete and reserves are funded on a schedule, the story a seller can tell is simple. Where it is incomplete, or where the funding decision is still in front of the board, a buyer is being asked to accept an unknown.

Neither outcome prevents a sale. They change what a seller should have ready on day one, and how an offer should be structured.

03

Financeability is decided by the buyer's lender, not by you

Agency eligibility depends on the whole project — reserves, insurance, litigation, delinquency, and occupancy mix — not only on the unit. A project that does not meet agency guidelines may still be financeable through other loan paths, and it may narrow the buyer pool.

The seller’s move is to learn where the project stands early, so the constraint is known before a contract depends on it.

What the Broward market currently rewards

MIAMI Realtors reported Broward existing condominium sales up 15.53% year over year for June 2026, with 10.1 months of supply and 9,688 active listings, down 17.10% year over year. That describes the category — not any one building or unit.

Months of supply at that level means buyers can choose. Preparation, documentation, and honest pricing are what separate a unit that transacts from one that sits.

Does my Pompano Beach condo building need a milestone inspection?

Florida Statutes §553.899 applies milestone inspections to condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more, by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, and every 10 years after. A local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years where local circumstances such as proximity to salt water apply. Pompano Beach is coastal, so confirm the applicable age with the local building department rather than assuming 30.

Can I sell a Pompano Beach condo that has a special assessment?

Yes. An assessment does not block a sale. What changes is the negotiation: who pays the outstanding balance, what the contract says about it, whether the records explain the reason, and whether a buyer's lender is comfortable with the project.

Is a Broward buyer's market a bad time to sell a condo?

Not necessarily. MIAMI Realtors reported Broward existing condo sales up 15.53% year over year for June 2026 with 10.1 months of supply. More supply means buyers have alternatives, which raises the value of preparation and evidence — it does not mean units stop selling.

What documents should I gather before listing?

Assessment notices and balances, the current budget and financials, the reserve study or SIRS, milestone inspection reports, recent minutes, master insurance information, repair or engineering status, and the association's application steps.
