Contracts Accepted this Week
Contracts accepted this week were slightly higher this week. 181 contracts accepted this week compared to 172 last week. Sub zero temperatures did not keep people from making decisions on buying or selling. Applications like Docusign have really helped with getting signatures when it is not possible to get them in person. Some of these might have been postponed because of the weather.
