Florida Reverse Mortgage Lending Limits
Florida, known as the Sunshine State, is home to 21.5 million people, with nearly 1.7 million of them being homeowners aged 62 and older. This means over one-and-a-half million Florida residents may be eligible for a reverse mortgage, providing a valuable option to access their home’s equity.
As of January 2024, the average home value in Florida is $407,219—well below the HECM reverse mortgage lending limit of $1,149,825. This makes reverse mortgages a viable option for many Florida homeowners.
Florida has a rich history, being the first region in the continental United States to welcome European explorers, starting with Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in 1513. After centuries of control shifting between Spain, Britain, and the United States, Florida became the 27th state in 1845. It later joined the Confederacy during the Civil War and eventually rejoined the Union after the war’s end.
Florida’s population remained relatively small until the mid-20th century when it began to grow as a popular vacation and retirement destination. Despite setbacks like hurricanes and the Great Depression, Florida’s economy rebounded, and today it is the most populous state in the American Southeast.
Known for its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and vibrant tourist attractions, Florida has become a top destination for retirees. Nearly 2 million homeowners aged 62 and older have found a welcoming place to enjoy their retirement in communities like The Villages, Boynton Beach, Clearwater, and Naples.
Florida’s economy thrives on tourism, agriculture, and transportation. It’s home to world-famous attractions like Walt Disney World and the Kennedy Space Center, as well as a variety of professional sports teams and the Daytona 500 auto race.
If you’re a homeowner aged 62 or older living in Florida, All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. (ARLO™) is here to help you explore how a reverse mortgage could benefit you. We’re ready to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
