Florida Mortgage Calculator 2026

Florida's median home price is $434,000 in 2026, up 1%–3% year-over-year as the state continues attracting new residents from high-tax states. Miami averages $580,000 while more affordable inland areas average $280,000–$350,000. Florida has no state income tax, boosting purchasing power. The effective property tax rate of 0.89% is moderate, and Florida's Homestead Exemption reduces taxable value by up to $50,000 for primary residences. However, Florida's hurricane risk significantly increases homeowners insurance costs — often $3,000–$6,000+ annually — which must be factored into total mortgage payments.

Florida Homestead Exemption

Florida's Homestead Exemption reduces the assessed value of your primary residence by up to $50,000 for property tax purposes, saving approximately $500–$900 per year depending on local tax rates. To qualify, the home must be your primary residence as of January 1st. The Save Our Homes assessment cap limits annual increases in assessed value to 3% or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less — protecting long-term residents from rapid tax increases as property values rise.
