35 New single family home permit numbers for unincorporated Lee County, Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach were issued for the Month of December. The number equates to a 26-year low....The previous low keep in mind for Lee County occurred in November 1981 when 45 permits were for the month.
Cape Coral issued 9 permits in December, which is three less than the all time previous low record of 12 issued for November 2007.
For Comparison sake.... take note on the Historical chart I've been keeping up on that shows the numbers month to month since the "BOOM" Began in SW Florida.
