The big four: flood-zone designation and what flood insurance will actually cost, the condition of any seawall or shoreline protection, how salt and moisture exposure have been managed (roof, windows, HVAC), and any rules covering docks, rentals, or shoreline changes. Ask for elevation certificates and insurance history up front.
Waterfront homes are scarce by definition and historically command a durable premium, but carrying costs (insurance, maintenance) run higher than inland homes — so the right comparison is net of those costs. A local agent can show waterfront-vs-inland resale history for the area.
