This page tracks what homes in Lakeside actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 10 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.
What homes sold for in Lakeside
Sale prices ran from $474,905 to $668,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.
By size
| Home size | Sales | Median price | Median $/sq ft | Median days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft | 8 | $536,746 | $200 | 34 days |
Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 6 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 118 days and still closed at 99.1% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $13,750. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.
How buyers paid
Cash was 0% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
