As of August 2026, we analyzed 778 active for-sale homes in Fort Pierce, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $360,000 and is projected to generate about $39,412 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 52.1% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Fort Pierce #103 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Fort Pierce sit a median of 86 days on the market, and 22% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — Fort Pierce runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.
