(1) Historical data for Punta Gorda was not available, due to Hurricane Charley in August 2004.
* Hurricane Ivan devastated the Panhandle area in September 2004.
This information is based on a survey of MLS sales levels from Florida’s Realtor boards/associations. MSAs are defined by the 2000 Census. Source: Florida Association of Realtors and the University of Florida Real Estate Research Center.
*Editor's note: Local Realtor boards/associations, real estate firms and Multiple Listing Services in many areas across Florida were directly affected by Hurricanes Frances, Ivan and Jeanne in September 2004, which in turn impacted the collection of data. Many closings during this month last year also were delayed when homebuyers were unable to obtain homeowners' insurance, since most insurers do not write policies when a hurricane threatens. The real estate industry and other businesses also were still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Charley, which struck the state in August 2004.
