Housing Market in Florida
Florida's housing market has stabilized in 2026 after its post-pandemic run-up and subsequent cooldown, with modest statewide price growth and improving sales activity. But "statewide" is doing a lot of work in that sentence -- median prices across Florida's major metros span more than a quarter-million dollars.

Redfin put Florida's statewide median home sale price at about $398,752 in June 2026, up 2.8% year over year, and at about $393,701 in April 2026, up 2.3% year over year. Florida Realtors' separate June 2026 report put the statewide single-family median specifically at $432,000, up 4.9% year over year -- a higher figure, likely because it covers single-family homes only rather than all property types. Both trackers point the same direction: modest, positive year-over-year growth in 2026 after the sharper corrections of 2023-2025.
Sales activity and time on market improved in 2026
Homes sold statewide were up about 10.1% year over year, with 30,611 homes sold in June 2026 alone, per Florida Realtors data. Median days on market ran about 70 days, down slightly (about one day) from the prior year -- a market that is neither the frenzied, days-on-market-in-the-single-digits environment of 2021-2022 nor the sharply buyer-favorable market of 2023-2024, but something closer to balanced.
Regional medians span more than $250,000
The statewide figure obscures a huge range. Reported metro-area medians (compiled from 2026 market sources) put Miami metro around $550,000-$650,000, Tampa around $380,000-$440,000, and Jacksonville around $300,000-$360,000. At the affordable end, Marion County (Ocala) sits near $280,000 as of early 2026. That means the most expensive major Florida metro can run more than double the least expensive one -- a Florida "housing market" is really several distinct markets, and the statewide median is not a useful number for budgeting a specific move.
What this means for someone planning a purchase
Because the state spans such a wide price range, anchor any Florida home-buying budget on the specific metro or county you're targeting rather than the statewide median -- and expect that county-level property tax and insurance costs (see those topics) will also vary in roughly the same direction as home prices, compounding the cost difference between, say, coastal South Florida and interior North-Central Florida.
Key takeaways
- Florida's statewide median sale price ran roughly $393,701-$398,752 in early-to-mid 2026 across all property types (Redfin), or about $432,000 for single-family homes specifically (Florida Realtors) -- both up modestly year over year.
- Statewide sales volume was up about 10.1% year over year in June 2026, with days on market around 70, a more balanced pace than the 2021-2022 peak.
- Regional medians vary enormously: roughly $550K-$650K in Miami metro, $380K-$440K in Tampa, $300K-$360K in Jacksonville, and near $280K in Marion County (Ocala).
- Budget off the specific metro or county you're targeting, not the statewide median -- property tax and insurance costs tend to track home prices in the same direction, compounding the regional cost gap.
