What's Moving the FL Market in April 2026
Insurance costs remain the #1 pressure on FL cap rates. Property insurance in Florida averaged $3,800-6,200/yr for single-family homes in 2026 — up 40% from 2022. This is the single biggest expense line item that new investors underestimate and why "off-the-shelf" national tools miss the mark for FL analysis.
SpillDeals bakes Florida-specific insurance estimates into every deal calculation based on property type, county, and flood zone status.
Positive trends:
- Jacksonville prices softening slightly — more A/B deals appearing
- New construction duplexes in Fort Myers still hitting 6%+ cap rates
- Section 8 voucher amounts increasing in most FL counties — good for S8 investors
