Location in a community - 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 those areas generally appreciate, or hold their value consistently, year to year.

Recent sales - Your agent should provide you with information on the recent real estate sales in the districts that you're asking about. You'll want to know average time on market, selling versus listing price and more.

Appreciation history - Have property prices gone up or down over the past 5 to 10 years? Is the community believed to be desirable because of its location or affordability?

Economic factors - Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Are local businesses hiring? Is there a nice mixture of jobs in an area, or does it depend on just one industry? All these play a role.
