Why it matters
Three buildings on the same street have "Palm Bay" in the name. This page covers only Palm Bay Condominium, the one at 770 NE 69th St (folio 01-3218-045-0001, 74 units): it is not Palm Bay Yacht Club at 780, which is a different condominium with its own page.
Building data
This data comes from county records and the Florida condominium database (DBPR). Identity was read in the October 21, 2026 baseline, sales on October 23, 2026, and the flood zone on October 23, 2026.
| Item | What the record shows | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Condominium name | "PALM BAY CONDO," the legal name at the Property Appraiser. | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 21 and 22, 2026 |
| Address and jurisdiction | 770 NE 69th St, Miami, FL 33138. City of Miami. | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 21 and 22, 2026 |
| Folio | 01-3218-045-0001 is the condominium's reference (parent) folio. Each unit carries the same beginning, 01-3218-045, and its own final number. Not to be confused with Palm Bay Yacht Club at 780 NE 69th St, a different condominium (its folio begins 01-3218-062), which is not covered on this page. | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 21 and 22, 2026 |
| Year built | 1965 (Property Appraiser; it matches the DBPR registration year, 1965). | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 21, 2026 |
| Units | 74 units according to the DBPR condominium registry. The Property Appraiser lists 70 unit folios at the address: there are combined-unit folios (one covers, for example, "APT 3C & 3D"), so the difference is an artifact of the unit count, as declared in the package. | DBPR, condominium registry, October 22, 2026; Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Association and manager | "Palm Bay Condo Inc," the association registered with the DBPR for this condominium, which the extract also records as the managing entity. | DBPR, condominium registry (extract of October 22, 2026) |
The market in the public record
The sales in this section are the ones recorded at the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser between October 22, 2024 and October 22, 2026 (24 months). They were taken from the Appraiser's sales list for the subdivision (folio 01-3218-045) for the years 2024 through 2026; price and qualification come only from the Appraiser ("Qual by exam of deed"), and each of the 8 counted sales was verified individually at the Clerk (file number, deed type and recording date). Corrective or quitclaim (QCD) deeds with minimum consideration and life-estate interest transfers stay out, though they are enumerated below. The deed the Appraiser could not process is declared and never counted. There are no MLS figures: the MLS is private and does not belong on this page.
| Item | Value | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Qualified sales in 24 months | 8 transactions | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Median price | $412,000 | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Range | $185,000 – $670,000 | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Annual turnover | 5.41% per year: 8 sales ÷ 74 units ÷ 2 years (the denominator is the DBPR count; the sales perimeter is parent folio 01-3218-045) | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Excluded Appraiser entries (declared, not counted) | 12: three qualified sales dated before the window (2C, Jan 11, 2024, $282,000 · 2D, Aug 23, 2024, $357,000 · 7A, Jun 17, 2024, $390,000); seven corrective or QCD deeds at $100 (four inside the window: 2F, 2D, 9E and 4B; three earlier); and one life-estate interest transfer (unit 1B, Apr 19, 2024, $100). | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Unprocessed deed (declared, not counted) | 1: unit 4C, Mar 14, 2024, $100 — the Appraiser notes "Unable to process sale due to deed errors"; it is also before the window. | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, October 23, 2026 |
| Date | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Jun 29, 2026 | 6-G | $399,000 |
| Dec 2, 2025 | 6H | $425,000 |
| Sep 30, 2025 | 4B | $320,000 |
| Sep 15, 2025 | 7I | $670,000 |
| Jun 26, 2025 | 1F | $185,000 |
| May 19, 2025 | 3F | $330,000 |
| Oct 30, 2024 | 2A | $460,000 |
| Oct 18, 2024 | 8I | $655,000 |
Package notes: the reconciliation is exact — the Appraiser's 20 entries for 2024 through 2026 are the 8 counted, the 3 qualified sales before the window, the 7 corrective or QCD deeds, the life-estate transfer and the unprocessed deed. One declared exception: the date the Appraiser shows for unit 8I (October 18, 2024) is 4 days before the window opens, but its recording at the Clerk (November 1, 2024) falls inside the window, and it counts by that recording; its seller was a living trust and the Appraiser qualified the sale. There are no multi-unit sales in a single deed and no accessory sales (parking or storage) under folio 045. Method caveat, declared in the package: the Clerk's aggregate results page never loaded, so the reconciliation rests on the Appraiser's subdivision list plus the deed-by-deed Clerk verification of the 8 counted sales, not on a Clerk count of candidates. The Clerk's database reaches October 19, 2026, and the Appraiser shows no sale after June 29, 2026.
What the records show today
One row per topic. "Pending official confirmation" means no public record showing it was read. It does not mean the fact exists or that it does not exist.
| Topic | What the record shows | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Recertification (the age-based inspection the city requires) | Pending official confirmation: no official document with the status of this recertification was located in the sources read. | No document located, October 23, 2026 |
| State structural inspection (milestone inspection) | Pending official confirmation: no official document with its status was located. Given its year built (1965), the building is fully inside the age-based inspection (milestone) regime, but no document read states where its process stands. | No document located, October 23, 2026 |
| Reserve study (SIRS) | It appears only on the list of submissions from July 2025 onward in the DBPR SIRS database (DBPR is the Florida agency that oversees condominiums): "PALM BAY / PALM BAY CONDO INC," Miami 33138. That list shows no ID column. It does not appear on the list of submissions before July 2025, and not appearing there does not prove it was not done: the database shows only complete submissions, exactly as each association sent them. The study's contents and the reserve level are not public in the database: pending official confirmation. | DBPR, SIRS database (lists from the October 21, 2026 baseline) |
| FHA loan (HUD condominium list) | No record for this building. The baseline searched it by name and by ZIP code 33138 (12 records, none of them this condominium) and the lookup returned no matching record. On the list, the building is neither listed nor approved as an FHA project as of the reading date. | HUD, Condominium Lookup (October 21, 2026 baseline) |
| Flood zone (FEMA) | The point consulted is in zone VE, with base flood elevation 10 (EL 10). FIRM panel 12086C0308L, in effect since September 11, 2009. The lookup was made as "770 NE 69 Street, Miami, FL": the address in the production queue carried a suffix ("Bay 1") that was removed to geocode, and it is declared here. | FEMA, Map Service Center (NFHL), FIRMette of October 23, 2026 |
| Special assessments (extra charges the association splits among owners) | Pending official confirmation: no minutes or association document setting the amount of a special assessment in force was read. The current amount of a special assessment is not a public record. | Not read on October 23, 2026 |
| Court proceedings | Pending official confirmation: the official sources read show no court proceeding for this condominium. | Not read on October 23, 2026 |
What to ask before you offer
What the public records do not show is held by the building's association. Ask for it in writing and keep the answers:
- The recertification status: the city's notice, the report filed and the letter with which the city closed it, if they exist. And the state structural inspection (milestone) report. The guide on 40-year building recertification explains each step.
- The full SIRS and its reserve plan. The DBPR list only confirms the study was submitted (on the list from July 2025 onward); the association holds its contents.
- The document setting the special assessment in force: amount, the unit's balance and the payment schedule. If the association took out a loan for the work, ask who pays it and how. The guide on the extra condo charge explains what to ask for.
- Major work: what it includes, on what dates, under what permits, who pays for it and how (a charge to owners, a loan or reserves).
- That the unit belongs to this building: the deed and the unit's folio must begin 01-3218-045. Palm Bay Yacht Club at 780 NE 69th St carries a different folio (01-3218-062) and is a different building.
- The minutes of the last two years and the unit's account statement letter (the "estoppel": what the unit owes the association and the charges in force).
- If you plan to use an FHA loan: the building does not appear on HUD's list; ask your lender about the list and about single-unit approval. The guide on a condo with an FHA loan explains how to read the list.
What is NOT public (but you must verify): the unit's exact dues (they vary by unit), the current amount of a special assessment, the current rental, Airbnb or pet rules (they live in the association's documents, not in the public record), the association's internal budgets and reserves, and the building's status on lenders' confidential lists.
