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.
