In the last few years, Florida has become one of the hottest places to live in the U.S., with retirees, remote workers and families flocking to the sunshine state during the pandemic. As a result, though, the state’s growing popularity has led to soaring home prices and increasing unaffordability. According to statistics from Florida Realtors, the average price of a single-family home in August 2023 for the state of Florida was $575,832. This is nearly $100,000 over the national average sales price for homes sold in Q2 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
So does this mean those seeking affordable homes have to look outside of Florida? Not at all! There are plenty of affordable homes available right now in Florida for under both the national and state average sales prices. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most charming hidden gems for sale in Florida now for under $400,000.
