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 Hurricane Charley, which in turn impacted the collection of data. Many closings this month also were delayed when homebuyers were unable to obtain homeowners' insurance, since most insurers do not write policies when a hurricane threatens.
