    • 2013 April 6, Matt Olberding, “Waverly business owner renting houses to Disney visitors”, in Lincoln Star Journal‎:
      Florida was one of the most boom-and-bust states for home prices in the 2000s. The median price of a home in the Orlando area, for example, doubled from around $125,000 in 2002 to around $250,000 in 2006, before dropping just as fast.
