Does the number of real estate transactions determine a hot marke

The number of transactions in an area does provide some clue into sales activity levels in an area. What is responsible for the sales activity is what you should be concerned with including future sales trend in an area. The definition of 'hot' will vary of who is asking. Sales activity does not often represent profit margins.
