What it really costs to own 3962 Tradewinds Trail
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| HOA dues | $96/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Brevard County is $2,348/yr (6,986 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $3,500–$7,500/yr; neither is a quote. |
| Roof and age | Built in 2002. An original roof would be about 24 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |

Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $748,850 ($239/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
Our automated estimate of the likely sale-price range for this home — modeled from recent closed sales nearby adjusted to today's market, a local size-and-age model, and the county tax roll. It is an estimate, not an appraisal, not market value, and not an offer. A licensed agent's CMA sees the condition, the lot, and the live market that a model can't.
Strong local evidence — built from 20 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market).
Track record: across 2,975 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 57% of the time; median miss 9.6% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-10-14.
Actual list price: $975,000 ($301/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.
A 21% spread on the same house — here is what a model can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value the model only sees through the comps.
- Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $96/mo; insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 3962 Tradewinds Trail, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2002 (24 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- HOA dues are listed at $96/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Brevard County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Listed living area is 3,237 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $10,238/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's current bill is not a guide Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Per the listing record, 3962 Tradewinds Trail was built in 2002 and has 3,237 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 3962 Tradewinds Trail in?
3962 Tradewinds Trail is in Sunset Lakes West-Island Estates in Merritt Island, Brevard County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 3962 Tradewinds Trail have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $96 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 3962 Tradewinds Trail differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $10,238 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 3962 Tradewinds Trail in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
