A lot of people are convinced that the economy is the most important factor affecting real estate appreciation. Naturally, there are some factors on a national level that influence your property's value: unemployment, interest rates, business growth, and more.

Access to services - Proximity to jobs and schools also have a great impact on most home buyers' choices. So when it comes to holding their value, these communities typically appreciate the best.
Recent home sales - You should receive stats on the recent real estate sales in the districts that you'd like to live in from your REALTOR®. You'll want to learn data like time on market and seller discounts.
History of appreciation - In the past 5 to 10 years, have property prices risen or declined? Does location or affordability affect how desirable the area is thought to be?
Economic factors - Have companies moved into or away from an area? Are local businesses hiring? Is there a nice mix of business in an area, or does it depend on just one industry? All these play a part.
