What's Driving Florida's Market

Population growth: Florida added over 400,000 new residents in 2025 alone. Remote workers, retirees, and young professionals are all choosing Florida at record rates.

No state income tax: With high-tax states like California and New York driving relocations, Florida's tax climate is a major draw for high earners.

New construction: Builder incentives — rate buydowns, closing cost credits, and design upgrades — are making new construction highly competitive against resale homes in many submarkets.

Insurance pressures: Property insurance remains a key consideration. Jason will walk you through current costs and how to choose communities with strong wind mitigation profiles to minimize your premiums.
