deals, but more luxury buyers utilized
conventional financing than ever before.

Head Island. “People have been able to afford to borrow and
keep their capital.”

People were buying large vacation homes instead of going
on expensive vacations overseas. Many of the luxury buyers

that is not too far away to drive to,” Blake adds, referencing
the impact of COVID-19.
