Access to services - Being close to schools, employment and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is important to many families and will greatly influence home values. So when it comes to keeping their value, these areas consistently appreciate the best.

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

The appreciation history - Is the neighborhood thought of as desirable because of its location or affordability? Have house prices gone up or down over the past 5-10 years?

Local economy - Is there a nice combination of job types in an area, or does it depend on just one industry? Have companies moved into or away from an area? Are local companies hiring? All these play a part.
