October already? Another month has flown by in this crazy year, 2020! September did end up lower in both lending and property transfers than August, but still I’d say that $375.3 million in sales is great. We also saw $609.55 million in new loans.
There’s been a lot of real estate activity during this first fiscal quarter (July thru September). 7,541 loans totaling $1.9 billion were recorded in our office along with 4,129 property transfers which came in at a total of $1.25 billion.
