How to read it: median price is the recorded MLS sale median for the past 12 months where our feeds carry sold records (at least 120 sales), otherwise the median asking price of current listings (rows marked list-based; appreciation and price change then come from the county Zillow index); cost to own is principal and interest on 80% of that median at the county’s current rate, plus non-homestead property tax at the county’s verified millage (less the $50,000 homestead exemption) and the county’s average Citizens premium; share of income is that annual cost against the Census median household income pooled over the ZIPs where the city’s homes are listed; 5-yr appreciation is the compound annual change in recorded medians; county pop. growth is the county’s five-year Census change. Score = 50 + 10 × (0.35 affordability + 0.15 appreciation + 0.15 population growth + 0.10 market balance + 0.10 inventory depth + 0.15 own-versus-rent), each as a capped z-score across the ranked set. Inputs are prices, costs, incomes, growth and supply only; nothing about the people who live there. Data as of 2026-09-07; deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Questions people ask

What is the fastest-growing city in Florida?

San Antonio in Pasco County on this ranking: the county grew +15.3% over five years, recorded medians compounded +8.0% a year, and 81% of recent sales were new construction.

Does fast growth mean prices keep rising?

Not automatically. Several fast-growing counties show falling year-over-year medians because new construction adds supply faster than demand; the months-of-supply and YoY columns show where growth is outrunning pricing.
