Florida Cities With the Fastest Growing Home Prices in 2026
The Florida housing market continues to deliver some of the most fascinating price movements in the country. While the pandemic-fueled frenzy has cooled slightly, Florida remains a magnet for buyers, investors, and professionals watching property values rise faster than most states can keep up with.
Stacker recently compiled a full ranking of the 50 Florida cities with the fastest-growing home prices, using data from Zillow. From quiet rural towns to ultra-luxury coastal enclaves, the dollar gains over the past year tell a compelling story about Florida’s ongoing boom.
As mortgage rates climbed, some regions saw modest slowdowns, while others continued soaring. For Florida real estate professionals, this is exactly the kind of market knowledge that separates passive observers from skilled experts. At Cameron Academy, we always encourage our real estate students to follow trends like these closely, because understanding where value is rising can influence both your licensing journey and your long-term career strategy.
Highlights From the Ranking
The full Stacker report breaks down all 50 cities, but here are some standout movements that tell the bigger story.
Top 3 Fastest Growing Cities by Dollar Value
#3 Golden Beach: +$603,527 in one year
#2 Jupiter Island: +$621,276 in one year
#1 Lake Buena Vista: +$634,861 in one year
These luxury markets show no signs of slowing, fueled by high-income buyers and limited inventory.
Steady Climbers in Smaller Markets
Old Town saw +4.9 percent growth, while Cross City and Hosford both logged strong jumps between 2 and 2.4 percent.
These areas reflect Florida’s expanding demand beyond big metros.
Metro Powerhouses Still Delivering Gains
Orlando, Miami, and Jacksonville metros continue posting year-over-year increases, even with higher mortgage rates.
This signals resilience, strong employment pipelines, and ongoing migration to Florida’s biggest job corridors.
