The sale of a Miami residential property was scheduled to close Sept. 8. The sale of a home in the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo was to close Sept. 15. And the sale of Boynton Beach condominiums was to close Sept. 22.

All of the closings were delayed by Hurricane Irma and slow to return to relative normalcy.

After the storm battered South Florida, uprooted trees and cut power across vast areas, it also left some real estate deals pending for longer than planned.
