Over time, the worth of a house will fluctuate up and down.
Over a long enough period of time, home values , in most cases, appreciate.
But, of course, in real estate there are no "sure things".
When your property appreciates you have a larger asset to borrow against, and you'll generate a larger profit when you sell.
Property values in Kearny rise and fall for a variety of reasons, so how will you be sure what you're buying now won't depreciate the day after you close?
It's important that you choose an agent in Kearny who can identify the factors that influence local prices.
What is the top factor impacting real estate appreciation? Many think that it's the economy.
Obviously,
there are many issues on a national level that impact your house's value: unemployment, interest rates, business growth, and more.
However, your property's value and the things that play the biggest role in its appreciation depend on the local Kearny economy and housing market.
Access to services - Being close to schools, jobs and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is a big deal to many buyers and will greatly influence home values.
So those regions often appreciate, or retain their value, best.
Recent sales - Your real estate agent should provide you with data on the recent real estate sales in the neighborhoods that you're interested in. You'll want to know average time on market, selling versus listing price and more.
The appreciation history - Is the community thought to be desirable because of its location or affordability? Have house prices increased or decreased over the past 5-10 years?
The local economy - Are local companies hiring? Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Is there a nice mix of jobs in an area, or does it count on just one industry? Is the mix of commercial and residential zoning changing?
All these play a part.
