If you’re looking to invest in Florida Real Estate, new data shows Miami is still the number one spot in Florida.

The information compiled by lending company Hard Money Lenders IO identified the most sought-after Florida cities by real estate investors, ranking Miami as the top choice and Gainesville as the least preferred.

Miami took first place with 2700 monthly searches, followed by Tampa with 1850 and Orlando with 1180. Sarasota ranks 5th with 540 searches despite being 18th in population

Cape Coral and Melbourne also show significant interest, with 500 and 460 searches and Gainesville is ranked last among Westchester, Tallahassee, Palm Bay (which borders Melbourne) and The Villages, all of which have less than 100 searches a month.

Hard Money Lenders IO said they came up with their findings by analyzing Google search volume data to reveal the top 20 cities in Florida that real estate investors are most interested in.

Combining the most common keywords that real estate investors would type in their real-life searches, such as “real estate market,” “investment properties,” “where to buy investment property,” and using the 100 cities in Florida with the highest population, we analyzed over 1,200 different monthly search volumes on Google.
