Property values are constantly moving up and down. Home values appreciate in the long term almost always. But, in real estate there are no guarantees.
When your home appreciates you have a greater asset to borrow against, and you'll create a higher profit when you sell. There are many different reasons why property values in BAKERSFIELD change. So, how will you be sure what you're investing in presently will appreciate over time? The most important thing to consider is that you go with a real estate agent in BAKERSFIELD who is familiar with the factors that influence local prices.
What is the biggest factor impacting real estate appreciation? Many guess that it's the economy. Obviously, there are several factors on a national level that alter your home's value: unemployment, mortgage rates, business growth, and more. But the most important factors that decide your property's value are specific to the local BAKERSFIELD economy and residential market.
Access to services - Most people want homes in the areas with the most accommodating places we go often or everyday, like our jobs and schools. So those communities typically appreciate, or hold their value consistently, year to year.
The latest home sales - You should receive stats on the recent real estate sales in the neighborhoods that you're asking about from your real estate agent. You'll want to analyze figures like time on market and seller discounts.
The appreciation history - Is the neighborhood thought to be desirable because of its location or affordability? Have house prices gone up or down over the past 5-10 years?
Economic factors - Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Are local companies hiring? Is there a nice mix of work in an area, or does it rely upon just one industry? Each of these elements plays a part.
