A lot of people assume that the economy is the biggest factor impacting real estate appreciation. Clearly, there are some issues on a national level that impact your home's value: unemployment, interest rates, consumer confidence, and more. However, your property's value and the elements that play the most significant role in its appreciation are specific to the local Brentwood economy and housing market.

Location in a community - Most people want homes in the districts with the most accommodating features, such as our work and schools. So when it comes to retaining their value, these communities consistently appreciate much more reliably than areas lacking key features.

The latest home sales - What's the time on market? What was the final sales amount compared to the listing price? Some information can often be retrieved from public records, but a good agent with a login to the local MLS will often be able to provide a more complete picture.

History of appreciation - In the last 5 to 10 years, have house prices increased or decreased? Does location or affordability affect how desirable the area is believed to be?

Economic factors - Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Are local companies hiring? Is there a nice blend of job types in an area, or does it rely on just one industry? All these play a role.
