Hallandale Beach FHA Home Loan
Hallandale Beach is one of the few places in South Florida where a condo near the ocean still costs around $320,000. With FHA, the cash to get in can be surprisingly small. Here is exactly how small, and which buildings make it possible.
We specialize in Hallandale Beach FHA home financing.
Most of Hallandale Beach’s homes are condominiums, from oceanfront towers to the mid-rise buildings around Three Islands and along the Intracoastal. Many were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and a good number are 55-plus communities. That combination creates both the opportunity and the challenge: prices are approachable, but the building, not just the buyer, has to qualify.
On Mortgage compares a wide group of FHA lenders and reviews the association before you commit. For every program’s live pricing, see our Hallandale Beach mortgage rates page, or speak with our Hallandale Beach mortgage broker team.

Hallandale Beach FHA Loan Benefits: Affordable Homeownership Starts Here
The usual FHA benefits apply: 3.5% down at a 580 credit score, gifts from family toward the down payment, and up to 6% of the price in seller contributions. In a market where the average home takes more than four months to sell, that last one is very usable. Here is what an FHA buyer might need in cash to close on a $320,000 Hallandale Beach condo with a 3% seller credit:
| Cash to close, $320,000 condo | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3.5% down payment | $11,200 |
| Florida doc stamps and intangible tax on the $314,204 loan | $1,728 |
| Lender, title, appraisal and settlement charges (illustrative) | $4,000 |
| First-year HO-6 policy, insurance and tax escrow deposits | $2,593 |
| Less: seller credit (3% offered, $9,600, usable only up to your actual costs) | −$8,321 |
| Estimated cash to close | $11,200 |
The 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium is financed into the loan. HO-6 premium is illustrative and the tax escrow uses Broward’s millage with the homestead exemption. A seller credit can never cover the 3.5% down payment itself. Associations may also charge a capital contribution or transfer fee at closing; ask for it in advance.
Hallandale Beach FHA Loans for First-Time Homebuyers
For a first-time buyer, a Hallandale Beach condo can be the shortest path from renting to owning near the water. With the cash requirement above and FHA’s flexible credit rules, the purchase is often within reach sooner than people expect.
What to understand before buying in an older building: Florida now requires milestone structural inspections and funded reserves, and some Hallandale associations have levied special assessments to catch up. An assessment does not rule out FHA, but it changes your monthly cost and can affect the building’s approval. Ask for the inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment schedule early, and negotiate with them in mind.
On Mortgage: Your Hallandale Beach FHA Loan Expert
From beachfront condos to inland residential streets, our local knowledge guides FHA financing throughout Hallandale Beach. The condo work is where experience shows: knowing which buildings hold FHA approval, which can qualify a single unit, and which have rental activity, commercial space or pending repairs that will stop an FHA loan.
Insurance is the other piece. As a condo owner you buy an HO-6 policy covering your interior and belongings, while the association insures the structure, and FHA requires that master policy to be adequate. Higher building insurance costs flow into dues, so we look at the association’s last renewal when we estimate your payment.
FHA mortgage insurance at the Hallandale median:
| $320,000 purchase | Base loan | Upfront MIP (1.75%, financed) | Monthly MIP | How long MIP lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5% down | $308,800 | $5,404 | $142 (0.55% a year) | Life of the loan |
| 5% down | $304,000 | $5,320 | $127 (0.50% a year) | Life of the loan |
| 10% down | $288,000 | $5,040 | $120 (0.50% a year) | 11 years |
Premiums on a 30-year FHA loan at this price. Buyers who put 10% down pay the monthly premium for 11 years instead of for the life of the loan.

FHA Financing in Hallandale Beach
FHA loans open beachfront condos, townhomes and single-family homes to buyers with 3.5% down and flexible credit. Beyond the towers, Hallandale has single-family streets in the northwest part of the city and around Golden Isles, and buyers often compare them with neighboring Hollywood and nearby Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach across the county line.
If you are weighing Sunny Isles or Aventura, note that they are in Miami-Dade County, with the same FHA limit but different property taxes and building rules. We price both sides of the line so you can compare.

Frequently Asked Questions: FHA Loans
Can I use an FHA loan in a 55-plus condo in Hallandale Beach?
Yes, if the building is FHA approved or the unit qualifies for single-unit approval. Age restrictions apply to who lives there, not to FHA eligibility.
How much cash do I need to buy a Hallandale Beach condo with FHA?
On a $320,000 condo, the 3.5% down payment is $11,200. Closing costs and escrow deposits add more, and a seller credit can offset much of that. The estimate above walks through the full amount.
Do special assessments stop an FHA purchase?
Not necessarily. The assessment is added to your monthly costs if paid in installments, and the lender reviews the building’s finances. Large unresolved repairs can affect approval, so we check early.
What is the FHA limit in Hallandale Beach for 2026?
$667,000 for a one-unit home or condo in Broward County.
Is an HO-6 policy required with an FHA condo loan?
Lenders generally require interior coverage when the master policy does not cover the unit’s interior. Either way, an HO-6 policy protects your improvements and belongings and is worth having.
