How to compare a home
Price per square foot is a comparison tool, not a price. Lot, condition, finishes, floor plan and location move it more than any single average, so compare a home with the closest recent sales and ask what is different. Numbers like these describe the whole of Katy, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line. If you are thinking about comparing a specific home, talk to us to find the right option for your circumstances.
