How this US$750,000 screen works
- Screen direction
- strictly above US$750,000
- Boundary rule
- A stated asking price equal to US$750,000 is not represented as over the threshold. If a future data product uses inclusive bounds, it must disclose that different rule instead of inheriting this copy.
- Total-budget rule
- Acquisition, furnishing, repair, association, assessment, insurance, service, financing, currency-conversion, and recurring ownership costs are separate worksheet inputs and must not be silently folded into the asking-price screen.
- Why the marker is retained
- The amount is retained because the owner approved the historical same-route price-band intent. It is not asserted to be a statistically derived current market breakpoint and must be reviewed at implementation.
Evidence before presentation
Use the threshold to trigger a contract-stack review
Use this route when a condominium's stated asking price is above US$750,000 and the buyer needs to determine which rights, services, fees, and governance layers actually attach to the unit. The amount preserves the historical premium-condo search intent. It does not establish luxury, quality, exclusivity, value, availability, or any particular level of service.
Start with a layer map rather than an amenity list. A single marketed residence can sit within a condominium regime, sub-association, master association, club, hotel or hospitality program, brand arrangement, rental or management program, and separate service contracts. Record each layer independently so a name, logo, shared lobby, or current practice is not mistaken for a transferable legal or contractual right.
| Layer | Questions to document |
|---|---|
| Legal unit | Unit identity, boundaries, measured area basis, appurtenant areas, title or trust records, included fixtures, and seller authority |
| Condominium regime | Declaration, bylaws, common elements, voting, maintenance allocation, use limits, budgets, reserves, assessments, and insurance |
| Master or sub-association | Membership basis, overlapping authority, separate fees, architectural or use controls, access, and transfer process |
| Club or amenity program | Whether participation is mandatory or optional, who grants it, term, transferability, suspension, dues, and usage rules |
| Hotel, brand, or operator | Entity and contract, service scope, standards, duration, renewal, change rights, termination, and owner obligations |
| Rental or management program | Separate agreement, eligibility, owner-use limits, fees, inventory control, reporting, termination, and no income assumption |
| Unit-specific services | Utilities, housekeeping, maintenance, storage, parking, concierge, communications, and which items can change or be withdrawn |
Rights ledger
Prove which rights attach to this unit
For every claimed beach, club, golf, hotel, spa, pool, view, rental, concierge, transport, parking, storage, terrace, roof, or access benefit, record the granting document, right holder, beneficiary, scope, term, capacity limit, reservation rule, fee, transfer condition, suspension condition, and termination rule. Marketing copy and seller use history are leads for diligence, not proof.
Distinguish ownership, exclusive use, license, membership, lease, service entitlement, preferential access, and a revocable operating practice. Ask qualified advisers whether the right transfers with the identified unit and whether a sale, operator change, brand change, owner default, program exit, or document amendment can alter it.
- Granted by: identify the legal or contractual counterparty rather than relying on a marketed community name.
- Evidence date: use the current executed or governing document and record amendments.
- Transfer condition: identify approvals, fees, applications, waiting periods, and non-transferable items.
- Open issue: do not write yes when the evidence says proposed, subject to approval, separately available, or unknown.
Multi-entity governance
Reconcile governance across every controlling body
Obtain current declarations, bylaws, rules, budgets, reserve information, financial statements, meeting records, insurance information, assessment history, owner balances, litigation or dispute information when appropriate, management agreements, service contracts, and planned capital-work records. Verify which body controls unit alterations, rentals, pets, occupancy, noise, parking, deliveries, contractors, signage, access, and use of shared facilities.
Where condominium, master, club, hotel, brand, or operator rules overlap, build a conflict and dependency log. A unit can comply with one layer while another contract limits the same activity. Have appropriate advisers interpret controlling documents; this page does not determine priority, enforceability, licensing, ownership, or legal effect.
| Decision | Potential controlling layers | Evidence result |
|---|---|---|
| Renovation or furnishing | Unit documents, condominium rules, design standards, hotel or brand standards, contractor access | Approved, conditional, conflicting, expired, or unresolved |
| Personal occupancy | Condominium rules, club terms, hotel operations, owner-use schedule, access system | Rights, restrictions, blackout or reservation terms, and change authority |
| Rental or guest use | Condominium rules, local requirements, management or rental contract, operator policies | Eligibility and restrictions only; no income or occupancy forecast |
| Transfer | Title or trust process, association status, club application, operator or brand agreement, service contracts | Required approvals, releases, balances, fees, and non-transferable items |
Cost and continuity ledger
Audit fees, capital obligations, and service dependencies
Build a schedule that names the payee, legal or contractual basis, currency, billing period, included service, escalation method, deposit, tax treatment to be confirmed, delinquency consequence, transfer charge, and checked date. Keep condominium dues, master dues, club dues, hotel or operator charges, management fees, reserve contributions, assessments, utilities, insurance, and optional services in separate rows.
Price does not prove that services are included or durable. Confirm staffing and operating scope, service hours, owner-request procedures, exclusions, subcontractors, renewal and termination terms, and what happens if an operator or brand changes. Treat future capital work and shared insurance deductibles as diligence questions, not as zero merely because no invoice has been issued.
Physical condition meets contract responsibility
Inspect the unit and shared building as one operating system
A contract review does not replace physical diligence. Ask qualified inspectors and advisers to examine the unit and relevant common components, including waterproofing, exterior envelope, glazing, balconies or terraces, elevators, life-safety systems, electrical and water infrastructure, wastewater, backup power, communications, drainage, corrosion exposure, pools, access systems, parking, and storage as applicable.
Connect findings to the responsibility map. Record who must repair, approve, fund, insure, or provide access for each item, and whether the obligation is documented. A branded, managed, serviced, beachfront, or recently marketed property is not exempt from building-condition, reserve, assessment, or insurance review.
Rights and obligations before shortlist
Create a conditional decision record
Summarize each layer as verified, conditional, conflicting, expired, or unresolved. Include the source document and date, responsible reviewer, financial consequence, transfer consequence, operational dependency, and next action. Do not collapse unresolved items into a generic luxury score or rank developments against one another.
Use the broad luxury-condo diligence page for general premium-condo education and the current criteria-led roundup when the reader wants named developments to research. Use the broad Cabo condo page and city condo pages for search context, the buyer's guide for transaction sequence, and the contact page to submit a unit-specific contract-stack brief. This route should own the evidence matrix, not the wider luxury-condo topic.
