BUT, make sure to look at that bottom stat… pending sales – those that are under contract – are down 12%.
And that is the reality we are likely facing as we move through the next few months at Grand Lake and the reality of the global pandemic on the real estate market here in our little corner of paradise here in Oklahoma.
