How to read these figures
Sales volume is the figure brokers and banners follow, because compensation follows dollars, not doors. For an individual, it mostly serves to read the health of the market: a volume rising with sales is a market that widens; a volume rising on price alone is a market that concentrates. The average sale price comes from our average house price in Varennes page, harvested the same day. Averages are sensitive to exceptional homes: to set a price, the median and the sector's comparables remain the reference.
