A monthly sales figure is useful only when its measure is clear. Different transaction categories and property mixes can produce totals that should not be compared directly.
Reconcile the definition
Check the source, period, currency, geography and whether the figure measures value or count. Distinguish sales from wider registration activity.
Apply the figure cautiously
Use comparable data to understand activity, then examine relevant property-level evidence for valuation. An aggregate increase need not mean each comparable unit rose in price. The decision should retain that distinction instead of treating a large number as an investment recommendation.
