        "text": "Beyond the purchase price, waterfront properties often have additional expenses such as higher property insurance premiums, especially for flood and wind damage, particularly in coastal areas of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. Maintenance costs can also be higher due to exposure to salt and humidity, requiring more frequent upkeep for docks, seawalls, and exterior structures. It's crucial to factor these into your budget early in the search process.",
