I hope your second week of July was good and that this third week will be even better! The office was busy last week, recording 2,055 documents. Since June we have averaged over 1,900 documents per week, keeping our staff on their toes.
Of the 2,055 documents, 309 of those were Warranty Deeds (property sales) that carried a total of $104.3 million dollars. This week we recorded 10 property sales with price tags over a million dollars, and of those, four were commercial properties.
