Astonishing Inventory in Palm Beach County

From the Palm Beach Post:

In Palm Beach County, the supply of unsold homes - called "inventory" in real estate-speak - has risen to astonishing levels as the housing boom continues to go bust.

"Fifty-five months!" McCabe said.

Actually, there's a 57-month supply - nearly five years - of single-family homes in Palm Beach County, based on the current pace of sales, according to Illustrated Properties Real Estate. The South Florida brokerage tracks listings in the Regional Multiple Listing Service.

Does anyone know what the record is for a market that size?

No idea, but if that's not a record it's gotta be pretty close to one.

If builders would just stop building for 5 years, everything would be fine (in 5 years).
