What drives property values in San Diego to move up and down?
Over time, the value of a property will fluctuate up and down.
Over a long enough period of time, property values , by and large, go up.
But, of course, in real estate there is always a certain amount of risk.
When your house appreciates you have a bigger asset to borrow against, and you make a bigger profit when you sell.
There are many different reasons why property values in San Diego change. So, how do you know what you're purchasing right now will appreciate over time?
It's critical that you select an agent in San Diego who can identify the factors that drive local prices.
A lot of people are convinced that the economy is the biggest factor impacting real estate appreciation.
Naturally,
there are some issues on a national level that impact your property's value: unemployment, interest rates, consumer confidence, and more.
However, your house's value and the things that play the biggest role in its appreciation are particular to the local San Diego economy and housing market.
Location in a community - Convenient access to schools, work and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is a big deal to a lot of families and will greatly influence home values.
So when it comes to retaining their value, these regions generally appreciate much more reliably than areas lacking key features.
Recent sales - Your REALTOR® should provide you with reports on the recent home sales in the districts that you'd like to live in. You'll want to know average time on market, selling versus listing price and more.
The appreciation history - Is the community thought of as desirable because of its location or affordability? Have home prices risen or declined over the past 5 to 10 years?
Economic factors - Have companies moved into or away from an area? Are local companies hiring? Is there a good blend of business in an area, or does it depend on just one industry?
Each of these things plays a role.
It's vital to be informed about the factors that play into your home's value.
