Back from the dead

Our friends at Metrostudy couldn't resist the Halloween analogy in their latest report on the housing market in Lee and Collier counties.

“Forget Halloween: the Naples-Fort Myers market is back from the dead,” reads the latest report by the firm that tracks new-home sales in master-planned residential communities.

New-home construction in the Lee-Collier market is up 23.7% and there's just a two-and-a-half-month supply of finished vacant homes in subdivisions.
