FWIW, the Wall Street Journal article today on "cracks in the housing bubble" had a map that indicated that Fort Myers is one location with an extremely high home appreciation/income increase ratio, suggesting bubble inflation at an advanced stage. It could be because of it's demographics (retirees) but it's still a bit of a red flag.

SBerglowe is a realtor in Florida (but I think she's over in the Boca/Palm Beach area); she may have some insight on the area.
