As of November 2026, the MLS records 1 closed sale in Fairfield on the Tee in Lakeland, FL, the most recent in September 2024. Across Lakeland as a whole, 2,881 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $327,500, 53 median days on market, with 1,146 homes for sale today. At that median and Polk County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.19 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,300 ($4,620 with the full homestead exemption).

Fairfield on the Tee is a built-out pocket of 57 homes dating from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s, so price here is driven almost entirely by condition and updates rather than square footage. With a median living area of 1,642 square feet and no two owners having renovated on the same timeline, expect a wide spread between move-in-ready and project homes even within this small count.
As of August 2026 there are zero active listings. That tells you two things: inventory is genuinely tight, and when a home does come to market it tends to set the tone for value in the community. A seller who prepares well has leverage; a buyer needs patience and a willingness to move when the right listing surfaces.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview
This is a small, established community in Lakeland where homes carry late-1980s to 1990s construction and the tee-adjacent location defines the setting more than any shared amenity package does.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

- Needing to buy immediately from current inventory
- Wanting community amenities, gates, or shared facilities

The Fairfield on the Tee buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fairfield on the Tee today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Fairfield on the Tee.
A condition-driven small market
With only 57 homes and a year-built range of 1985 to 1999, the housing stock is consistent in era but variable in upkeep. Roughs, HVAC, kitchens, and baths from the original build period are the swing factors on value, so a thorough look at mechanicals and past updates matters more here than headline square footage. No community amenities surfaced from current MLS listings, which means you are buying the home and the location, not a lifestyle package of fees and facilities.
A homestead share of roughly 51 percent suggests a fairly even mix of owner-occupied and non-homesteaded homes. That balance, combined with no current active listings, keeps turnover modest and makes timing the central challenge for anyone trying to buy in.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fairfield on the Tee. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
