Florida Real Estate 2026: Buying May Beat Renting
A new Florida housing study shows that buying a home may create far more long-term wealth than renting in many Florida markets — including Orlando. (floridarealtors.org)
The report found that over a 10-year period:
1. Miami homeowners could build over $1M in equity
2. Orlando buyers showed a projected advantage of more than $317K compared to renting
3. Tampa and St. Petersburg also showed strong long-term gains
While renting may seem cheaper monthly, homeownership helps build equity through appreciation and mortgage paydown over time.
In Central Florida, many buyers are waiting for the “perfect time,” but opportunities, incentives, and inventory continue to change every day.
1. Renting gives flexibility
2. Owning builds wealth
