Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Over the past year in Lakeland Highlands, prices have edged slightly lower while activity has strengthened. The typical home value is down less than 1 percent year over year, yet the number of homes sold has roughly doubled in this rolling three-month view compared with a year ago, signaling much more movement in the market.
Looking at recent conditions, buyers are seeing more options, with active listings up about 10 percent from last year and months of supply at 3.3, a level that leans toward sellers but is not extremely tight. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market rising to 51, yet nearly 14 percent of properties are still closing above list price and sale-to-list ratios are close to 98 percent.
From a new activity standpoint, fresh inventory has grown, with new listings up more than 15 percent year over year and pending sales up about 27 percent in this rolling three-month period. With the area still described as a seller’s market but showing more balance than in prior years, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate their next move.

“Paula understood our needs and knew we had little time. She found several houses that hit our criteria and made time to show all of them to us. Even after we put an offer in on a house, she checked in periodically to make sure everything was good until we were closed.”
“Sarah went above and beyond helping me sell my property. She was always available and answered all of my questions. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking to sell or buy property. It was a pleasure working with her!”
“My husband and I used Christian to sell our condo. Christian worked extremely efficiently in getting us listed and conducted two open houses in a short period of time. Market conditions were not the best, but throughout the process, Christian kept us informed of any progress and was very quick to respond to the questions we had along the way. Christian assisted us in negotiating a fair price for our property and his hard work also provided us with a quick and painless closing. I highly recommend Christian and will absolutely use him again for any of our future real estate transactions.”
“My experience working with Linda was excellent. She guided us through every step, understood our family’s needs, and helped us find the perfect home. I would gladly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Her attention to detail was also wonderful.”
“Duc is not only my Realtor but also a great friend. He helped us find an amazing investment property in downtown Orlando at an unbeatable price. He answered all our questions upfront and guided us confidently throughout the entire process. We had such a great experience that we’re already working with him to purchase another property!”
“Steven did a fantastic job helping me and my husband find our first home! We recommend him for everyone. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but always willing to help!”
“Rich Noto is fantastic! He’s hardworking, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable. We’re based in New York, and he has helped us tremendously with getting our new home ready in Orlando, Florida. Having someone we trust looking out for us while we’re out of state has made such a difference. He truly cares about his clients and their best interests. We’re grateful for all his help and highly recommend him!”
“Tania was a great partner in selling our house, in a difficult market. I would recommend her to anyone who needs assistance selling their home. It took longer than we had hoped, but ultimately sold with no complications.”
“We cannot recommend Dilenia highly enough. She worked with our family for nearly three years to help my parents find the right home in Florida for their retirement, and throughout the entire process she was incredibly patient, responsive, professional, and committed to helping us find what we were looking for. As out-of-state buyers, we relied heavily on Dilenia to be our eyes and ears on the ground. Over the years, our criteria changed several times—from locations and price points to the size and type of home we wanted—and she was always flexible and willing to adjust with us. She continuously kept us informed of new properties, arranged showings quickly, and was extremely responsive to texts and questions, including evenings and weekends. Dilenia also brought valuable professional insight to the search. She was candid about what we could realistically expect within different markets and price ranges, provided thoughtful feedback on the homes we considered, and helped us research everything from property details and taxes to the documentation we needed to make informed decisions. She was never pushy and gave my parents the time and space they needed to make such an important decision. Once we finally found the right home, she was just as helpful throughout the purchase and closing process, communicating clearly and working closely with the seller’s side to keep everything moving. After nearly three years, my parents found the retirement home they had been searching for. We are extremely grateful for Dilenia’s patience, expertise, and dedication and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in Florida.”

“Dorota was amazing. She drove an hour to help us with a rental. She showed us several different rentals. Spent hours with us and helped us with the property manager. She definitely fought for us when it came to the numbers. We would use Dorota again and again if given the opportunity. Would recommend her to anyone looking to sale, rent or purchase.”
“Buying a home can be stressful, but our realtor Stephanie Meyer made the entire process feel so much easier.

“Buying our first home felt overwhelming at first, but Kim made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. From day one, she took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, making sure we always understood what to expect. She was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions quickly and thoroughly, no matter how big or small. Kim was also flexible with scheduling, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and never made us feel rushed or pressured.
