Gould,
Is this info look correct to you for Seattle? I would have expect
substantially more construction and substantially higher costs.
Seattle

This was for *all* zip codes in Naples.
I was actually surprised to not see Naples on the list. There are at
least a dozen zip codes for the "Naples" mailing address. Was there a
minimum population requirement used in the rankings? If you could look up
the "34102" zip code only, the median home price would be higher than the
Atherton, CA median home price.
I doubt that very much! That is the median price of one the most
expensive neighborhoods in a land of very high priced neighborhoods.
Zip code 34102 is the Port Royal and Aqualane Shores area of Naples. There
are currently 32 homes for sale in Port Royal according to MLS. They range
in price from $2,995,00 to $24,900,000. Ten of them are over $10 million.
In Aqualane, there are 14 homes currently for sale. They range from $2.2
million to $6.69 million.
Those statistics put the median quite a bit higher than the #1 on Forbe's
list.
