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


Seattle
Single-family new house construction building permits:
a.. 1996: 464 buildings, average cost: $125,800
b.. 1997: 469 buildings, average cost: $146,300
c.. 1998: 530 buildings, average cost: $135,200
d.. 1999: 480 buildings, average cost: $136,900
e.. 2000: 449 buildings, average cost: $143,800
f.. 2001: 484 buildings, average cost: $152,800
g.. 2002: 886 buildings, average cost: $159,100

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.


You do not get that many homes changing hands in Atherton. Is a stable
community and the kids take over the house. And in your naples zip code,
how many sell for the asking price, and how many outside the local
neighborhood you quote and in the zip code selling and what price. I am
in Pleasanton Calif and our zip code has a price range of about 400k on
the lower end for a condo to 15-20 million in Ruby Hills gated community
and 3-10 million in the Castlewood golf course area. Sunol is the next
town south.


The 34102 area code doesn't have a home under $2 million. It has dozens
over $10 million. I'd venture to guess that the median is somewhere close
to $4-5million.






Atherton does not have a bare lot under 2 million. Wifes cousin died. Her
little 2 bedroom house on a lot in Los Altos, next to Atherton sold for 1.1
million. The house is a tear down.
