        "text": "Beyond the purchase price, waterfront homes often incur additional costs. These can include higher insurance premiums for flood and wind, maintenance for seawalls, docks, or other marine structures, and potentially HOA fees in gated waterfront communities. When preparing your budget, consider these ongoing expenses, especially for properties in coastal areas like Fort Lauderdale Beach or Sunny Isles Beach, to ensure a complete financial picture.",
