Seven licensed mobile home communities in Lutz, holding 493 lots. Sunrise Mobile Home Park is the largest at 168, then Lake Como Nudist Mobile Home Resort at 166, Livingston Mhp at 65, Grove Mobile Home Park at 34, Tampa Sun Estates 6 at 33 and Silver Star Mobile Home Park at 15.
Under five hundred lots, twenty minutes from Tampa, in an area where the surrounding housing costs several times what a mobile home here does. That gap is why this market moves.

These seven communities are not alike
Source: Florida DBPR licensed mobile home parks.
The two largest hold two thirds of the lots between them, and one of those is a resort community with its own membership requirements and its own buyer pool entirely. A home inside it is not really comparable to a home in an ordinary rented-lot park a mile away, whatever the age and square footage say.
Anybody pricing your home without knowing which of the seven you are in is guessing. We ask on the first call, then weight to your community first and to comparable Hillsborough County closings second, and we tell you which sales carried the most weight.
Most of the searching here is people wanting to buy
More than three quarters of the mobile home searches around Lutz come from buyers rather than sellers, which is among the highest ratios we see anywhere in the county.
That is good news if you are the one selling. Demand here is real and it is local, driven by people who want to be in this school district and this commute without paying Tampa prices. A well-priced home in one of these communities does not sit for want of interest. It sits because the price came from the wrong comparables, or because the park approval stalled, and both of those are fixable.
We produce the number first, free
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, its age, condition and lot rent, and produce a full Comparative Market Analysis: comparable closings, what is competing with you right now, and a recommended list price with the reasoning written out.
No obligation, and the figures are yours whether you list with us or not. Then weigh the options, listing against a cash offer, on your own arithmetic.

What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, no percentage of the price. Thirty day agreement rather than six months.
Professional photography with drone coverage, a written listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms including Zillow and MHVillage, buyer screening before anybody walks through your home, negotiation and park approval handled for you, and a written performance report every week: views, calls, showings, and how the listing is doing against the market.
Closings are handled entirely online. That is what to expect once you list, and the reviews from people we have sold for are worth two minutes before you call anybody.
Approval is where listings actually stall
Every one of these communities screens buyers, and the resort community screens on its own terms as well. Income, background, sometimes pets and vehicle counts. Some offices clear an application in a week and some take a month, and none of it is published anywhere you could look up.
With demand this strong, approval timing is the bottleneck far more often than finding a buyer is. We chase it ourselves rather than handing you an office number and hoping.
If the home is rough
Some out here have been rented hard for years or sat empty through a season or two. We still list them, and we will not send you off to spend money on repairs that will not come back in the price.
There is somebody who buys a home in rough shape more often than owners expect, and the alternative most people are weighing is thousands to have it demolished. If a home genuinely cannot be sold, we say so rather than take the listing.
Given how many people here are buying rather than selling: what is on the market with us now is on My State MLS, statewide rather than a Lutz list, and it changes as homes come and go.
How brokering works in Florida explains why a home on a rented lot needs a different license from a realtor’s. We also work mobile homes in Land O Lakes and mobile homes in Thonotosassa.
Just north of here, we also handle mobile homes in Wesley Chapel.
This is one of the mobile home markets in Pasco County, where you can see how Lutz compares with the rest of the county.
