How to read these lists

Every list is the top five of its region for one measured figure, and the regions are not comparable with each other — a cheap area in Miami-Dade is not a cheap area in Tampa Bay. Two things worth saying plainly:

  • Gross yield is not your return. It is rent over price, before property tax, insurance, HOA, vacancy, management and maintenance — and in Florida those are heavier than almost anywhere. A 9% gross yield here commonly nets around 3%. The whole subtraction is in our rental yield guide.
  • A price cut is not a bargain. The price-cut column tells you sellers are adjusting, which is useful. Whether the adjusted price is still too high is a different question, and it needs the specific property.

Price, price cuts, inventory and closed sales: Redfin Data Center. Typical rent: Zillow. Hotness score: ResiClub Terminal. Gross yield is our own arithmetic on the Zillow rent and the Redfin price — rent times twelve over price — so that it matches the figure on every other page of this site. Data for August 2026; refreshed every month.

Narrowed it to two or three areas? We will send you what actually closed there last month — not the medians, the sales — so you can see the spread inside the number.
