Things you should know:

  • The numbers only include inventory of new sales in these buildings, some may very well have resales on the market that aren’t reflected.
  • When I didn’t get a pending number I calculated closed sales as Total-Available
  • % Sold = Closed/Total
  • If I made a mistake or forgot something, drop me a line at [email protected]. I will correct it and update the post.
