Florida Real Estate Investor Update For November 2026
Last Updated November 5, 2026 · Reviewed by Andrew Berman, CEO of National Mortgage Professional.
At A Glance
Local Market Callout: Among Florida's largest metros, Miami posted the strongest home value change over the past year (+0.3%), while Orlando posted the weakest (-1.4%). Falling values in Orlando can mean better entry prices. Jacksonville led rent growth at +2.2%.
What It Means For Investors: Rents are rising faster than home values, so the rent is doing more of the work to cover the payment. That's good news for DSCR deals. Softer values statewide can open the door to discounted purchases for investors who buy carefully.
