Job put on hold bad or good?

First things first I’m looking for different job for growth and a raise. My current job is pretty cheap. It’s a national newspaper business and I can definitely tell they are tight with money. I have been applying to jobs that come up. I had one that I interviewed for, it was a two step process 1st interview was a teams call and that went pretty well, they then called me two weeks later and were interested in doing a in person interview. This interview went even better I was getting to a personal level with the guys and they liked my answers a lot. Lasted 2 hours, one week later I get a call from the HR guy and he said they are calling to inform they are putting the position on a holding period and we’re going to be evaluating the position. He said I am still be considered for the position and he would let me know something in either a week or two. Has this happened to anyone else? Just not sure if they are having trouble deciding which candidate to go with or if it’s something else. They made it clear that they make a great amount of revenue and are expanding so I don’t see it being a budget issue.
