Buyer demand stands out in five ZIP codes spanning the state
Realtor.com ranked ZIP codes in Oviedo, The Villages, Pompano Beach, Lutz and Tallahassee as Florida’s hottest for 2026, based on listing views and market pace. Oviedo and The Villages each drew more than twice the U.S. average for listing views.
Buyer interest is running stronger in pockets of Florida from Tallahassee to South Florida, with five ZIP codes standing out for a mix of listing views and market pace during the first half of 2026, according to a new Realtor.com analysis.
The hottest Florida ZIP codes are in Oviedo, The Villages, Pompano Beach, Lutz and Tallahassee, giving the state a geographically diverse group of markets where demand remains relatively strong. Realtor.com limited its state rankings to one ZIP code per metro area so a single large market would not dominate the results.
Oviedo’s 32766 ZIP code ranked first in Florida with a hotness score of 76.2, followed by The Villages’ 34762 at 71.5, Pompano Beach’s 33076 at 70.3, Lutz’s 33559 at 70.2 and Tallahassee’s 32308 at 67.8.
The Florida rankings were:
- Oviedo, 32766: Hotness score 76.2; 51 days on market; 2.09 times the U.S. average for listing views; $695,000 median listing price
- The Villages, 34762: 71.5; 55 days; 2.08 times the U.S. average for views; $430,000
- Pompano Beach, 33076: 70.3; 51 days; 1.62 times the U.S. average for views; $982,000
- Lutz, 33559: 70.2; 53 days; 1.68 times the U.S. average for views; $434,000
- Tallahassee, 32308: 67.8; 42 days; 1.13 times the U.S. average for views; $415,000
Realtor.com’s hotness measure combines listing views, a gauge of buyer demand, with how quickly homes move through the market.
The Florida results show that “hot” does not necessarily mean fastest-selling. Tallahassee had the shortest median time on market among the state’s top five at 42 days, but its listings drew 1.13 times the national level of views. Oviedo and The Villages, by comparison, each attracted more than twice the U.S. average for listing views, helping push them to the top two spots.
The results also show a wide range in price. Median listing prices among Florida’s five hottest ZIP codes stretched from $415,000 in Tallahassee to $982,000 in Pompano Beach.
Florida’s rankings fit a broader pattern Realtor.com found across the South. While the region trails the Northeast and Midwest in overall market hotness, its most sought-after ZIP codes are more likely to be distinct pockets of stronger demand and higher prices.
Researchers described the divide as “two different flavors of ‘hot’ market.” In the Northeast and Midwest, demand tends to be broader and prices closer to surrounding-market norms. In the South and West, Realtor.com found that the hottest ZIP codes are more often higher-priced pockets that stand apart from their surrounding markets.
Nationally, 71% of the state-ranked ZIP codes had median listing prices above their surrounding metro, according to Realtor.com. In the South and West, the hottest ZIP codes averaged roughly 26% to 28% above their metro-area prices.
