2011 Lakeland Florida Overall Housing Market Review - A Roller Coaster Ride Every month I have watched, researched and written about the Lakeland FL Housing Market to see how we would compare to the same month in 2010 and even prior years. Folks asking me how is the housing market, is it getting any better? Are the prices going up? When will the prices go up?

While the national news is saturated with negative housing news, remember real estate is local and when it comes Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL (Polk County) I felt I needed to clarify a thing or two.
