Hello, as every week for the past few weeks you will find my weekly report below to give you an inside on what is happening in the Residential Real Estate Market for Lakeland, FL. This report is by zip code and is in my opinion more accurate than measuring by school zones, since school zone changes are in progress and Realtors® not always input the school zones into the Multiple Listing.
There are currently 2394 properties for sale, which is minimal increase of 9 listings reported the previous week. Last week's average sales price increased modestly. However, the average sold price decreased by 3% compared to my prior report of the Lakeland Residential Weekly Market Report 3/03/08-3/10/08.
My weekly report is obtained from the Mid-Florida Regional MLS, it is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. This report does not include "For Sale By Owner".

The aftermath of a date change in Florida's Primary Election
Sure you have heard the news or read the newspaper why Florida changed its Primary Election day to January 29, 2008. Check out the article by Abby Goodnough "Seeking an Edge, Florida Changes Its Primary Date".
The race for the democratic nomination is stronger than ever and still no clear cut winner in sight - what a mess it is. Florida's politicians now are asking for another democratic primary election or some sort of compromise.
Was it necessary to move up the date to January 29th?
It is my opinion that holding the primary election in Florida after February 5th would have been a better choice, considering the threats from the Republican and Democratic Party
What are Florida's benefits to have an early election?
You tell me! I did not see any benefits at all and the issue of importance is now irrelevant because the Florida Delegation were cut in half by the Republican National Convention and stripped altogether by the National Democratic Convention.
What if Florida would have changed the Primary Election date past February 5th?
We would not be in this predicament now and the Democratic Party would have perhaps their nomination.
Who should pay for another election, the taxpayer or the national party? Florida Voters, did your vote count on January 29, 2008? I leave that comment up to you.
