π΄ Florida Homeowners β The 2026 Market Has Changed. Here's What You Need to Know.
If you're thinking about selling your Florida home this year, the market looks very different than it did 2β3 years ago.
π What's happening right now:
β’ Homes are sitting 45β65 days on average (was under 20 days in 2022)
β’ Inventory has doubled in most metros
β’ Insurance is the #1 reason deals are falling apart β coastal counties are seeing $12,000β$15,000/year premiums
β’ Buyers are walking away AFTER making offers because of insurance quotes
ποΈ How each market is doing:
β
Jacksonville β Florida's most resilient market in 2026. Lower insurance, solid jobs, still affordable.
β οΈ Tampa Bay β Active but competing with new construction at every price point.
β οΈ Orlando β Stable overall, but condos are struggling with new HOA reserve laws.
π΄ MiamiβDade β The $400Kβ$700K range is slow. Luxury ($2M+) still moving.
π΄ Southwest FL β Insurance challenges from Hurricane Ian still affecting deals.
π‘ The good news: If you bought before 2021, you likely STILL have significant equity β even with the market cooling.
