Lakeland Real Estate Update on Sold Homes in January 2010

February 16, 2010 by Petra Norris · Leave a Comment 

A stable Lakeland real estate Market is a key factor for the housing market to rebound.  For the month of January a total of 145 homes were sold overall.  Last year’s overall Lakeland Florida Real Estate market was somewhat of a roller coaster ride with home prices up and down throughout the year.  Will the roller coaster ride continue in 2010? From the graph below you can see that average Lakeland home prices have increased since October 2009 by almost 9%.


Lakeland Homes sold in January: 145 – previous month:  194 – previous year January 09: 115 sold

January – average sales price $126,320

Previous month: $123,866 (+ 2%) – previous year January 09: $130,334 (-3.08%)

January – median sales price $112,900

Previous month: $113,950 (-0.92%) – previous year January 09: $96,000 (17.6%)

The graph below represents average and median prices in Lakeland for various categories. When our media provides us with a real estate market reports, generally these reports outline only Single Family Homes and Condominiums. Lakeland Florida has a variety of homes, such as manufactured homes, townhomes, villas and duplex units.

What are the various average prices in each Lakeland zip code?

Take a look at my spreadsheet below. I’ve separated the report by zip code instead of school zones; it gives you a more accurate report in my opinion. The data and graphs for this report were obtained from the Mid-Florida Regional MLS, it is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. This report does not include “For Sale By Owner”. The numbers highlighted in pink represents the zip codes where average sold prices have exceeded.


Lakeland homes sold that are priced right will sell quickly.  In my analysis of last month activity shows that home owners, who are having their properties marketed at the right price, achieve 97% of their list price.  Here is a breakdown:

  • 0-30 days – 96.92% average sold price/list price ratio
  • 31-60 days – 98.22% average sold price/list price ratio
  • 61-90 days – 95.4% average sold price/list price ratio

January 19, 2010 by Petra Norris · 1 Comment 

Lakeland real estate ended the year on a high note in sales. With 194 homes sold overall, a 43% increase from the previous year, the month of December proved to be the best month for 2009 with an average sales price of $123,865, a 1% increase from the previous month.

Lakeland Homes sold in December: 194 – previous month:  174 – previous year December 08: 136 sold

While home prices are at 2004 level and still showing signs of downward market adjustments, the adjustments for December compared to last year’s figures are no longer in double digits.  Although the distressed properties continue to power market values for Lakeland Real Estate, I suspect in the coming month that we see the market will stabilize.

December – average sales price $123,865

Previous month: $122,590 (+ 1%) – previous year December 08: $134,370(-7.82%)

December – median sales price $113,950

Previous month: $119,000 (-4.24%) – previous year December 08: $125,420 (-9.15%)
