Property taxes
✓ Based on certified county tax rollMany first-time Florida buyers are surprised when property taxes jump after closing. This estimate helps you budget before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment doesn’t transfer to a new buyer.

Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $145,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1981 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $540/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 155 days on market vs. a 63-day community median
- 2758 active listings competing, 661 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $145,000 ($146/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 2486 Caring Way #17A, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1981 (45 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
- FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Charlotte County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 992 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 $1,522/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.
