Highest (And Lowest) Priced Florida Real Estate Markets

by Ryan Erisman | Updated: December 16, 2024

If you've been thinking about retiring to Florida, you might be curious as to which part of the state to start your search for a new home.

Florida is a big state with plenty of options, but each of those options comes at a different cost of living.

In order to focus your search efforts right from the start, you will want to know a little more about which areas of the Sunshine State have more expensive homes and which areas have less expensive homes.

According to data from Florida REALTORS®, the median single-family home price in Florida in 2023 was $410,000.

While there isn’t much information to be gained from a state-wide median home price, it still gives us a good point of reference to work with when we compare different Florida real estate markets.

There are 22 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's) in Florida, and here they are in order from highest to lowest median single-family home sales price in 2023, the last full year we have data for:
