In 2014 and 2016 we saw 805-858 home sales in the first nine months of the year, and then 268-276 in the last three months of the year.

Given this year's 961 (!!??!!) home sales in the first nine months of the year, we might see as many as 315 home sales in the last three months of the year.

Or, alternatively, the pace of sales could certainly slow down after a frantic first nine months.

If we do indeed see 361 sales, that would result in a total of 1,276 home sales this year compared to only 1,126 sales last year.
