Half of Florida’s Vacant Homes Seasonal

About half of Florida’s vacant homes are seasonal or vacation units, not abandoned.
Total vacant units estimated around 1.48-1.53M; big vacancy counts can mask tight local availability.
Seasonal homes cluster in beach and resort enclaves.
High insurance costs and ↑condo/HOA fees push some owners toward occasional stays or wait-and-see, muddying supply.
Supply could shift if rental yields ↓ or investors cash out; otherwise seasonal demand keeps units off year-round market.
