“South Florida by the numbers” is a web feature that catalogs the most notable, quirky and surprising real estate statistics.

Thanks for clicking the link to read this article. Chances are that when you did, you had a good idea what to expect from reading The Real Deal, and from this long-running partnership with the Master Brokers Forum.
