So, how will you be sure what you're investing in right now will appreciate over time? Choosing a REALTOR® in Mission Viejo who understands the factors that affect local prices is the most important aspect.

What is the biggest factor impacting real estate appreciation? Many guess that it's the economy. Obviously, there are a handful of issues on a national level that influence your property's value: unemployment, mortgage rates, the stock market, and more. But the most important factors that determine your home's value are specific to the local Mission Viejo economy and residential market.

Real estate sales trends - How quickly are homes selling? Are sellers having to discount much? Some information can often be retrieved from public records, but a good agent with access to the local MLS will usually provide a more complete picture.

The appreciation history - Is the area considered desirable because of its location or affordability? Have property prices risen or declined over the past 5-10 years?

The local economy - Are local companies hiring? Have companies moved into or away from an area? Is there a good blend of work 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.
