Retiring from Active Duty Military or Relocate to MacDill, AFB – Tampa, FL?Just recently I sold a home in Lakeland, FL to an active duty military member who is relocating to MacDill AFB.  Why in the world they chose Lakeland over Tampa you might ask?   The drive alone from Lakeland to MacDill is about 40-50 minutes depending on traffic.  The single answer is location, location, location…..

Lakeland FL Real Estate Update - Homes Sales for April 2010
Overall Lakeland real estate sales activity remained very active and strong last month with a total of 244 Lakeland homes sold in April.  Average and median prices are still declining from the previous year.  The government’s tax credit program for homebuyers and low mortgage rates surely has impacted strong sales activity.

Lakeland FL Real Estate Update - Homes Sales for March 2010
Lakeland real estate sales activity continuously increased the past few months and March showed great improvement.   Although there were 235 Lakeland homes sold in March, such number I have not seen since 2007, average and median prices took a double digit steep decline at about 14% from the previous year. Distressed properties are still driving down market values with over 54% of market share. I’m suspecting that as long as we have such high inventory in distress, home prices may still be vulnerable for at least this year.
