Comments on the preliminary stats:
- total tracts receiving bids and total no. of bids nearly identical to the previous sale (259 in March 2023)
- disappointing drop in the no. of companies bidding
- 83.8% of the Sale 261 tracts receiving bids are in >400m vs. 66.8% for Sale 259 (this may in part explain the drop in participation)
