Homes in New Port Richey that pencil right now

A sample of active New Port Richey listings whose DSCR clears 1.25 using short-term rental income projections we accept as a direct lender. These are spread across the price range, not ranked, and current as of August 2026.

As of August 2026, we analyzed 757 active for-sale homes in New Port Richey, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $325,000 and is projected to generate about $34,114 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 43.8% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking New Port Richey #131 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in New Port Richey sit a median of 69 days on the market, and 25% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced 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 — New Port Richey 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.
