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

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.
