Twenty-two contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above, another solid performance after a listless summer. But here’s an alarming trend for you stats geeks: Analyzing September and October contracts for 2017 compared to 2016, the number of days on the market has soared to 447 from 346. Other benchmark stats—including total contracts signed, average price, and volume –are on a par with the same period last year.
