What causes Mountain View home prices to fluctuate?

Over time, the worth of a home will fluctuate up and down. Property values appreciate in the long term for the most part. But, of course, there are no guarantees in real estate.

When your home appreciates you have more resources to borrow against, and you'll see a greater profit when you sell. Property values in Mountain View go up and down for many different reasons, so how will you be sure what you're purchasing now won't depreciate the day after you close? It's important that you choose a real estate agent in Mountain View who is familiar with the factors that influence local prices.
