Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed cities across Florida to find the places where home prices might surge in 2025. First, GOBankingRates identified cities in Florida with housing data using Zillow Home Value Forecast from November 2024. For each location a number of factors were found including; total population, population ages 65 and over, total households, and household median income all sourced from the U.S. Census American Community Survey. Using this data, the percentage of the population ages 65 and over can be calculated. The cost of living indexes were sourced from Sperling’s BestPlaces and include the grocery, healthcare, housing, utilities, transportation, and miscellaneous cost of living indexes. Using the cost of living indexes and the national average expenditure costs, as sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey, the average expenditure cost for each location can be calculated. The livability index was sourced from AreaVibes for each location. The average single-family home value was sourced from Zillow Home Value Index for November 2024. Using the average single-family home value, assuming a 10% down payment, and using the most recent national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate, as sourced from the Federal Reserve Economic Data, the average mortgage can be calculated. Using the average mortgage and average expenditure costs, the average total monthly and annual cost of living can be calculated. Using the Zillow Home Value Forecast, the one-year percent change in home values are identified and along with the current home value, the dollar amount and estimated future home value can be calculated for each city. The cities were ranked to show the largest percent and largest dollar change. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Jan. 10, 2025.
