Whether youâre joining the real-estate business or just looking for a place to call home, itâs important to get a handle on the housing markets youâre considering before investing in a property. If you aim for long-term growth, equity and profit, youâll need to look beyond tangible factors like square footage and style. Those factors certainly drive up property values. From an investorâs standpoint, though, they hold less significance than historical market trends and the economic health of residents.
