LAKE ROSALIE OAKS Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

LAKE ROSALIE OAKS (LAKE WALES, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 7-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 82.1% of original asking; the median sale took 39 days (window ending 2026-08-02).

The 7-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, LAKE ROSALIE OAKS’s median sold price moved from $87,500 (2016) to $210,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +140% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in LAKE ROSALIE OAKS, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2016 at $87,500. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 6 closings a year (10-yr average 2.9). With roughly 2.9 closings a year, LAKE ROSALIE OAKS’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.

What actually trades here: 70% manufactured home - post 1977, 11% manufactured home, 9% single-family residence, 8% mobile home - pre 1976, 1% ?, 1% mobile home, with a median of 1,800 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $114 in the current window.

At LAKE ROSALIE OAKS’s $210,000 median and Polk County’s adopted 16.19 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,400 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,720 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Polk County tax page.
