Princeton Manor (LAKELAND, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 6-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 98.4% of original asking; the median sale took 20 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $338,000 | $164 | 20 | 98.4% | 3 |
| 2024 | $315,000 | $204 | 61 | 96.9% | 3 |
| 2022 | $350,000 | $205 | 11 | 100.0% | 5 |
| 2018 | $208,000 | $101 | 118 | 96.0% | 3 |
| 2017 | $183,750 | $102 | 13 | 101.4% | 4 |
| 2016 | $167,450 | $109 | 16 | 98.6% | 7 |
Over the recorded series, Princeton Manor’s median sold price moved from $167,450 (2016) to $338,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +102% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2016 at $167,450. Against the 2022 peak of $350,000, the current median stands at -3%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 2.1). With roughly 2.1 closings a year, Princeton Manor’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.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 2007 and 2009 (median 2008); 4 of 4 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $30/mo; none of the 4 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 154 ft).

At Princeton Manor’s $338,000 median and Polk County’s adopted 16.19 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,470 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,790 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.
