Over time, the worth of a house will go up and down. Over a long enough period of time, house values , in most cases, appreciate. But, of course, in real estate there are no guarantees.

It's critical that you choose a REALTOR® in Colorado who understands the factors that drive local prices.

   


What is the major factor impacting real estate appreciation? Many believe that it's the economy. Naturally, there are numerous factors on a national level that impact your house's value: unemployment, interest rates, consumer confidence, and more. However, your home's value and the factors that play the biggest role in its appreciation depend on the local economy and housing market.

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

The local economy - Are local companies hiring? Have companies moved into or away from an area? Is there a good mixture of business in an area, or does it rely on just one industry? Is the mix of commercial and residential zoning changing? Each of these pieces plays a role.
