Why sales volume matters
Sales volume is a sign of how much activity a buyer or seller can expect around them: more sales mean more recent comparable homes and a faster read on price, fewer mean each sale carries more weight in the pricing. Numbers like these describe the whole of Fort Bend County, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.
