Inventory of single family homes is down in SW Florida.  Buyers are competing with one another for the best listings.  Even though new listing are up, total inventory is down because demand is stronger than supply at this time.  Buyers are increasing frustrated trying to land a property, and searching on the national portals doesn't always work as they have outdated and sometimes inaccurate information.
