A lot of people believe that the economy is the most crucial factor affecting real estate appreciation. It goes without saying that mortgage rates, unemployment, job growth, government programs and numerous other national factors can always influence your property's worth. However, your home's value and the aspects that play the most significant role in its appreciation are specific to the local Dallas economy and housing market.

Access to services - Convenient access to schools, employment 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 areas often appreciate better than others.

Recent sales - Your agent should provide you with statistics on the recent real estate sales in the areas 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 neighborhood believed 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 companies moved into or away from an area? Are local companies hiring? Is there a good combination of work in an area, or does it rely on just one industry? Each of these items plays a part.
