Lakeland vs Plant City - Florida City Comparison
In this video we compare Lakeland's neighbor to the West, Plant City. Known as the winter strawberry capital, Plant City offers a lot of contrast to that of the swan city and may be a good option if you are looking for a home with land or you enjoy more of a small town feel.

    It also costs some South Lakeland money to live in South Lakeland. Most of us would love to live behind those gates where houses are huge and the lawns are well kept. We can't afford it. They are probably talking about 540 area, Shepard road and those areas.

    Hi David, I currently live in Lakeland and my wife and I are looking to upgrade to a larger home in the next couple years before kids come along. We like the idea of purchasing some land and building our dream home on it. This is uncharted territory for us and are unsure of the process for selecting/buying land as well as what builders to go with. Is this process something you are able to assist with or are you more on just the building end once land is already purchased?

      With the size of the communities, prices can vary widely depending on square footage and amenities. As a starting point Lakeland as a whole has a median sales price of $320,000 and all three of these communities would have homes starting just above that.

    Finding demand for living downtown lakeland is an issue. Always has been. people move to lakeland to enjoy suburban sprawl with backyards and swimming pool. Now We have more apartment options then ever and maybe we will see more. Would like to see you do a segment on the Dixieland redevelopment as that just may be the place to go - would love for you to see what your viewers think of the Dixieland commercial district how the new road diet will enhance the area and will we see a housing boom there similar to what has occurred in Lake Morton area over the last 30 years. Downtown lakeland is great however; for now at least it is a central business district. Enjoyed watching you do a great job.

  • @joshnicholson5303
    @joshnicholson5303 Рік тому

    Full disclosure: I work for Southern Homes and these opinions are solely my own. While I understand your frustration as a buyer at the peak of the market, I don’t think it’s fair to disparage a builder for lowering prices. Pricing was already high, and with the interest rates more than doubling, home buying became next to impossible for so many people. Southern not only lowered prices like you mentioned, they also increased buyer incentives. Seller concessions have been maxed out for months by Southern Homes. Unfortunately, more incentives still wasn’t enough to make homes accessible for most people. Lowering prices was a good move. This allowed people to purchase homes. As a fellow real estate professional, I’m sure you can see this side of the coin. I really appreciate all the kind words you said about Southern Homes, too! They’re a great builder and I live in a Southern Home myself that I’m thrilled with. I’m glad you’re a part of the Southern Homes family and hope you love your home for a long time. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

    • @TheLakelandLife
      @TheLakelandLife Рік тому

      Hi Josh, thank you for the thoughtful consideration and opinion. I do agree Southern Homes was in a tough spot and I am not discrediting them for taking a pro-active stance to get ahead of a slowing market-as a company it did make a lot of sense. I am just basing this on the experience of current Southern Homes buyers who went under contract just before the price decreases-myself included. That was the only knock against them for 2022 and in my book Southern Homes is still and always will be one of Lakeland's best builders. Thanks again for your feedback and for watching!

      I meant they do not build in communities like the other builders; they only build on customer lots. They are truly a custom builder giving you control over the entire build process but you have to have the land prior.
