What it means for timing
Direction alone does not tell you when to act. A market that is flat in the middle can still be moving in a price band or a subdivision, and a seller and a buyer are usually looking at different bands. Every buyer and seller in Grimes County is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.
