Sold house up north: I would keep the closing/settlement statement for at least 10 years and other sales documents at least five years.
Current Florida home: I would keep the closing/settlement statement, deed, title insurance policy, and other purchase legal documents for as long as your own the home plus at least 10 years. If you designed your home as a new build, the design documents for as long as your own the home plus at least two years. You might keep these documents together with your current property insurance documents and tidy in case of a catastrophic event such as a tornado or fire, and for your survivors.
