Access to services - Being close to schools, work and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is a big deal to a lot of us and will greatly influence home values. So when it comes to keeping their value, these areas consistently appreciate the best.

Real estate sales trends - Are homes on the market 30, 60, or 90 days or even longer? Are sellers needing to discount much? Some information can be obtained from public records, but a good agent with a login to the local MLS will usually be able to provide a more complete picture.

The appreciation history - Is the area believed to be desirable because of its location or affordability? Have home prices risen or declined over the last 5-10 years?

Economic factors - Have companies moved into or away from an area? Are local businesses hiring? Is there a good blend of jobs in an area, or does it depend on just one industry? These items play a role.
