The confederacy passed the conscription act because the army needed more people to serve in the army as the number of volunteers declines and the number of casualties increased.
Explanation
At the beginning of the civil war,both the confederate states and the union army did not use conscription but in the later years the war took a violent turn.People hesitated to join the army and the number of soldiers in the confederate army decreased visibly.
In order to avoid defeat in the war, the confederate army wanted more men to join it and they enacted the act of conscription which made it necessary for all white men between the age of 18 and 35 to serve in the confederate army if called.

My answer in regards to the most important factor in house pricing would be: Location.
If the house is located in a bad neighborhood or is simply a large house surrounded by small houses, the value of the house goes does (meaning the price decreases). Also, the average price of the surrounding houses affects the house's price. Example: if you are going to sell your house which is small in a nice neighborhood with large houses, the value (price) will go up on your house.
So in short, location is often a large determination in house pricing.
Hope this helps! :)
