Access to services - Being close to schools, employment and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is a big deal to many buyers and will greatly influence home values. So those communities usually appreciate, or hold their value consistently, year to year.

Recent sales - Your REALTOR^® should give you statistics on the recent real estate sales in the districts that you're interested in. You'll want to know average time on market, selling versus listing price and more.

The appreciation history - Is the neighborhood believed to be desirable because of its location or affordability? Have home prices gone up or down over the last 5 to 10 years?

The local economy - Are local businesses hiring? Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Is there a nice blend of job types in an area, or does it rely on just one industry? Is the blend of commercial and residential zoning changing? Each of these items plays a role.
