...And how many people are actively looking to buy a home in this area?

If you have 50x as many people that want to buy as there are people that want to sell, then yes, this is low inventory. And while I might think it's stupid as fuck to buy a house on the coast in Florida, people are--apparently--doing exactly that.

Actually, Aquaman is the one buying up all those properties.

What about Namor the Sub-mariner? Has he been locked out of the Florida market due to the prices?

He's looking into upper east-coast properties in order to stay close to Sue Storm.
