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.
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.

Here are some more listings in the Port Royal section of Naples, Bill:

When you visit that the aforementioned site, Bill, pay close attention to
the fact that the first two listings ($32.9 million each) are just for
the *lots*.
Tell Steven Forbes.
Why tell him? He's not the one who gathered the data for the article.
