Flagler County snapshot (April 2026): typical home value $348K ($223/sqft), median rent $1,898, about 1,328 active listings, a median 71 days on market, and 22.7% of listings cutting price — a balanced market. Values are -3.2% over the past year and +3.9% over five years.

Tourism along Flagler Beach and the growing Town Center add to the base.

A median-priced Flagler County home costs about $2,496/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $72,923.

At about $1,626 a year on average, Flagler is middle-of-the-pack for Florida — manageable, but very address-dependent near the water. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.

Flagler County has about 121,710 residents. On a net domestic basis it gained roughly 4,355 people and a net +$318.55M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Domestic arrivals are led by NY, NJ, CT, CA. Migration is the demand engine behind prices: when more income flows in than out, it supports both rents and values.

Expect Flagler to keep drawing affordability-focused retirees and commuters over the next 12 months, with new construction in Palm Coast keeping buyers in a good position and the beach and Hammock high end the most premium — coastal insurance the main brake.

Flagler offers an affordable, outdoorsy coastal life: Palm Coast's network of saltwater canals and 130-plus miles of trails and paths, the uncrowded sands and classic pier of Flagler Beach, the golf-and-ocean luxury of Hammock Beach and Hammock Dunes, and Washington Oaks Gardens State Park — all positioned conveniently between historic St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.

Flagler's risks are coastal hurricane and flood exposure on Flagler Beach and the barrier 'Hammock' (Hurricanes Matthew and Irma eroded the beachfront and A1A), rising coastal insurance, and the growing pains of a fast-expanding planned city. Inland Palm Coast carries lower surge risk, and insurance runs below the immediate oceanfront.
