🌴🏡 Florida Still #1 in Master-Planned Communities
Even with a slight market slowdown, Florida continues to lead the nation in master-planned community sales and it’s not even close.
📊 2025 Snapshot:
• ~32,800 homes sold across the top 50 U.S. communities
• Down just 4% from 2024 but still well above pre-pandemic levels
🏆 Florida dominates the rankings:
• The Villages – #1 nationwide with 3,600+ home sales
• Lakewood Ranch – #2 with nearly 3,000 sales
🌞 Why Florida keeps winning:
✔ Lifestyle-driven communities (amenities, walkability, social living)
✔ Strong migration to Sunbelt states
✔ Options for every price point
📍 Big Trend:
Florida + Texas continue to dominate as the go-to markets for master-planned living.
⚠️ What’s slowing things down?
• Higher mortgage rates
• Rising insurance costs
• Construction and affordability challenges
💡 Bottom Line:
Even with headwinds, demand for community-focused living is stronger than ever—and Florida is leading the charge.
