Where can I afford a home in Florida?

Put in what you can spend. The list shows the Florida cities where a typical home of the type you want fits that budget, with the cash you would need at closing and a rough monthly payment.

How do you want to set the budget?
100 = paying cash.
Your quote or pre-approval rate. 30-year fixed assumed.
A rough planning figure. The real bill depends on the county millage and your exemptions. Tax calculator

Typical values are Zillow Home Value Index estimates for the middle of each city's market (September 2026), not listings or asking prices. Homes for sale in any city can cost much more or less. Cash to close includes Florida doc stamps on the note, the 0.2% intangible tax, the lender's title policy, settlement and recording fees and typical lender fees (plus the owner's title policy in Miami-Dade). It leaves out prepaid interest, escrow deposits and HOA transfer fees. Not a loan offer or an appraisal.

How the list is built

Each city has a typical value from Zillow for all homes, condos, single-family homes and each bedroom count. A city makes the list when the typical value for your choice is at or under your top price. In cash-and-payment mode the top price is the highest price where your cash covers the down payment plus closing costs and the monthly cost stays under your limit.

The lower third is Zillow's value for homes in the bottom third of that city's market. When the middle of a market is out of reach, the cheaper third often is not, usually older homes, smaller condos or streets farther from the water.
