Top Real Estate Market In The US Is Here In Florida

It’s not Tampa. It’s not Miami. It’s not Orlando.

SAN RAFAEL, CA – MAY 17: Real estate agents arrive at a brokers tour showing a house for sale with a list price of $1.3 million May 17, 2007 in San Rafael, California. The San Francisco Bay Area has seen the median price for existing single family homes surge 6.6% to $720,000 while the national median home price dropped 0.9% to $215,300 in March. Marin County led the Bay Area surge with the median home price reaching a record high of $1,010,000, the first county in the state of California to surpass the million dollar mark.

It's not Tampa. It's not Miami. It's not Orlando.

Realtor.com says LAKELAND is 2019's top real estate market in the nation. Bizjournals.com reports Lakeland real estate could see a 7.4% jump in price this year. The median price for a home there right now is just over $161,000. That's about $100,000 lower than the national figure.

So how do ya like that? The city with a disproportionate number of my #OnlyInFlorida stories is #1 in America!
