The Fort Myers real estate market went in to see the doctor today for its annual check-up.  The doctor poked, prodded, measured……ran all the usual tests and proclaimed, “you look good and healthy to me.”  The Fort Myers real estate market sheepishly asked back, “what about the cancer, triple bypass and renal failure that I suffered in 2007, 2008 and 2009……I was in very rough shape.”  The doctor said, “forget about your past problems…..you are completely healed and ready to live life to the max!”

So there you have it folks, the doctor says that the Fort Myers real estate market is healed!
