As of August 2026, we analyzed 758 active for-sale homes in Venice, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $419,495 and is projected to generate about $34,608 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 26.7% 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 Venice #176 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Venice sit a median of 88 days on the market, and 21% 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 — Venice 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.
What actually works in Venice
Cash-flow is the exception rather than the rule in Venice right now: 84 of the 638 Venice homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $388,000.
| Price | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
