In an email conversation, I asked Petra Norris if she could tell me how many Lakeland properties have been listed on the market for more than six months. Care to make a guess? 537 properties for 180 - 364 days 152 properties for 365 - 544 days 50 properties for 545 days and more That last number intrigued me. Homeowners that have been waiting more than a year and a half to sell. Of course, I had to make a map and Petra has a word or two of explanation:

I'm greatly indebted to Chuck for putting me onto Petra Norris' must-read local real estate blog. She has a great post up that includes a spreadsheet listing the decline in home value, as determined by actual sales. It's divided up by zip code. And while every Lakeland-area zip code has seen significant sale price declines, 33812 has seen 2007's average sold price of $250,299 crater to $162,200 in 2008. That's a 35 percent drop, if my math is correct. Holy moley.

Chapin talks about the reasons why, back in the beginning, change and growth seemed like such unalloyed blessings. “We thought we could manage growth,” she says. In her lifetime, a sky’s-the-limit scenario has turned Orlando into a city of suburban, and human, dilemmas. Still, this is can-do America. As Linda Chapin, suddenly reverting to optimism, [...]
I was catching up on my reading this morning. (Yes, I’m that far behind.) Business 2.0 magazine mentions little ol’ Lakeland in The Best Places to (Still) Invest. It seems they polled Moody’s Economy.com researchers to forecast — an economic word meaning “throw bones” — to identify which cities will see the greatest appreciation by 2011. Appreciation [...]
