During the week of Nov. 16-20, we showed a slight increase in both the number of transfers and mortgages, and their dollar totals. Comparing last week to the same week in November of 2019, the numbers are almost double, even amidst the pandemic.
We recorded 279 property transfers that totaled $78.64 million. In doing my research, I realized that there were no commercial property sales over $1 million, which doesn’t happen very often.
