CASH OFFER FOR MY LAKELAND
FIXER UPPER

Owning a fixer-upper in Lakeland, Florida provides solid potential in this growing Central Florida hub between Tampa and Orlando—but if you're ready to sell without funding major renovations, the traditional market can drag on with challenges. Properties needing updates (like roof repairs, HVAC replacements, plumbing/electrical issues, outdated interiors, or storm damage from Florida's climate) often face extended listings, thorough inspections, buyer financing hurdles, and offers below asking price.

As of December 2025, Lakeland's real estate market is somewhat competitive and normalizing: median home prices around $320,000–$350,000 (with slight year-over-year increases in many reports amid fluctuating inventory), homes averaging 60–80 days on market, and rising supply giving buyers more leverage. Fixer-uppers frequently take longer to sell, positioning cash offers as a fast, no-fuss alternative.

Sandy Buys Houses is your local, family-owned cash home buyer with over 25 years serving Polk County. We specialize in buying fixer-uppers as-is for fair cash offers, letting you skip the complications and close quickly—often in as little as 7–14 days.

We purchase fixer-uppers in established Lakeland neighborhoods with older and historic homes:

  • Lake Hollingsworth: Scenic lakefront area with classic mid-century and vintage properties near parks and downtown.

  • Downtown Lakeland: Vibrant historic district with walkable charm and older bungalows offering renovation potential.

  • Southwest Lakeland: Family-friendly suburbs with tree-lined streets and mid-older homes.

  • Kathleen: Affordable northern area with established properties and update opportunities.

  • Other popular spots like Grasslands, Lake Bonny, and historic districts around Crystal Lake, featuring character-filled homes.
