Location
The old cliché 'location, location, location' sounds right for a reason. Whether you are a young professional, an established family, a student, or a baby boomer, it's a good idea to live near public transportation, convenience and recreation

Demography
Does the region have a general appeal, with homeowners proud of their home and a steady stream of tenants? Suburbs with these two demographic characteristics tend to attract the greatest attraction (and the highest growth) in the long run.

Population
In order for local real estate demand to stay ahead of supply, the region must have a growing population. If the population shrinks, this translates into fewer new equipment and infrastructure and less pressure on housing prices.

Procurement
Limited supply levels are critical to real estate price growth. If it is possible to continue to increase, the supply is not as limited and capital growth is slowing down.
