Understanding Naples home prices
Real estate prices are constantly moving up and down.
Over a long enough period of time, house values , in most cases, appreciate.
But, of course, in real estate there is always a certain amount of risk.
When your home appreciates you have a bigger asset to borrow against, and you'll create a better profit when you sell.
There is a variety of reasons why property values in Naples fluctuate. So, how do you know what you're buying now will appreciate over time?
Choosing a REALTOR® in Naples who can identify the factors that affect local prices is the most important thing.
Many are convinced that the economy is the most important factor affecting real estate appreciation.
Obviously,
mortgage rates, employment, business growth, government programs and some other national factors have a definite impact on your house's value.
However, your property's value and the factors that play the biggest role in its appreciation depend on the local Naples economy and housing market.
Access to services - People typically want homes in the areas with the most convenient amenities, such as our work and schools.
So when it comes to holding their value, these regions generally appreciate the best.
Recent home sales - You should receive figures on the recent real estate sales in the neighborhoods that you're interested in from your real estate agent. You'll want to know data like how long a house stays on the market and seller discounts.
The appreciation history - Is the neighborhood considered desirable because of its location or affordability? Have house prices gone up or down over the past 5 to 10 years?
The local economy - Are local businesses hiring? Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Is there a fair combination of job types in an area, or does it rely upon just one industry? Is the mix of commercial and residential zoning changing?
Each of these items plays a part.
It's worthwhile to learn about the factors that play into your house's value.
