Fluctuating home prices in Rhinelander, Wisconsin: What causes this?

Over time, the worth of a house will go up and down. Over a long enough period of time, home values generally appreciate. But there are no guarantees in real estate, of course.

When your house appreciates you have a greater asset to borrow against and you'll make a higher profit when you sell. Property values in northern Wisconsin change for various reasons, so how will you know what you're investing in right now won't depreciate the day after you close?  Let Key Insight agents help you identify the factors that influence local prices.

   


What is the number one factor impacting real estate appreciation? Many assume that it's the economy. It goes without saying that mortgage rates, unemployment, job growth, government programs and some other national determinants can always adjust your property's worth. But the most influential issues that determine your property's value are specific to the local economy and housing market.
