What did 2866 NE 30th St sell for?

$1,300,000, roughly $130 per square foot of land across a 10,006 square foot parcel.

What can be built on an RM-25 parcel?

RM-25 permits residential income uses up to three stories in this location. The buildable program depends on setbacks, parking and City of Fort Lauderdale review, so any unit count should be confirmed with the city and a design professional before it is underwritten.

What due diligence does land require that a house does not?

Boundary and topographic survey, soil conditions, environmental review, zoning and code verification, utility availability, and a title history clean enough to build on. This parcel also carried a special assessment disclosure.

Why does probate complicate a land purchase specifically?

The seller authority to convey has to be established through the court before closing, and the buyer is usually carrying due diligence costs while that runs.

Vacant land does not have a home inspection. It has a survey, a soil report, an environmental review, a zoning file and a title history, and any one of them can end a deal in the final week.

The parcel is 10,006 square feet in Coral Ridge Galt Add No 1, zoned RM-25 for residential income up to three stories, with a canal view and a special assessment disclosure on file. 2025 taxes ran $5,287. Zoning permits a multifamily program subject to City of Fort Lauderdale review; unit count is a design question, not a given.

Ownership sat in an estate. Marina Melnikova represented the buyer and ran the file the way a land deal has to be run: probate documentation tracked against the court calendar, direct coordination with the seller attorney and the title company, survey, soil and environmental reports ordered and read rather than filed, and code exposure checked against the zoning before the inspection period closed.

The parcel came to market at $1,550,000, was reduced to $1,500,000, and closed at $1,300,000. On a site like this the only number that matters is the one per square foot of dirt, because that is the number the pro forma is built on.
