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
h.. 2003: 914 buildings, average cost: $173,100


Naples:
Single-family new house construction building permits:
a.. 1996: 67 buildings, average cost: $754,900
b.. 1997: 70 buildings, average cost: $618,000
c.. 1998: 101 buildings, average cost: $565,800
d.. 1999: 117 buildings, average cost: $863,400
e.. 2000: 131 buildings, average cost: $837,200
f.. 2001: 122 buildings, average cost: $868,200
g.. 2002: 118 buildings, average cost: $912,700
h.. 2003: 128 buildings, average cost: $819,800
http://www.city-data.com/city/Naples-Florida.html

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.








Go ask Steve Forbes.

The fact your zip is not listed does not make you a lesser person. ;-)

up the street, just sold, 1.6mm and down the street 2 blocks went for 825k.
there are more and less expendsive.

Mine was rated 151. LOL


There must have been some mistake.


I'm surprised that Medina, WA (home to Bill Gates) isn't higher than 98th
place. There are some seriously expansive mansions there, on seriously
expensive Lake Washington waterfront property no less.

I doubt that very much! That is the median price of one the most expensive
neighborhoods in a land of very high priced neighborhoods.

Why would you want to be on any list that included Cleveland or Avon
Lake? Where's your civic pride?

Why anyone would want to live in an area because it was on that list is
something I don't understand.

I understand, you can not understand that they are the list because lots of
people want to live in the area, and there are not enough homes to supplyhem
all. Understand?

JimH,

Harry's estate has it's own zip code, and two area codes and 8
species
that were thought to be extinct. He did have 3 pair of Pileated
Woodpeckers living in the woods, but he had to shot them because
they were
pecking on the doublewide trailer, making it difficult to nap in
the
afternoon.

Try to top that one. ; )

Why did you have to turn this thread sour with your post?

That's the Smithers style, Jim. Sad but true.
