As of February 2025, Florida's median housing price was $412,200 amid economic concerns due to high mortgage rates and Donald Trump's tariffs affecting the housing sector. Much of the state experiences natural disasters, complicating home sales as sellers report a lack of buyer interest. In response, Nestment and The Keyes Company launched the NestGen program, offering $25,000 to first-time homebuyers, aiming to stimulate this sluggish market.
