Just like the market for any other good, many factors can affect the price of a home.

The value of a home is far from concrete, and these outside dynamics can have a huge impact on the housing market, as well as the prices of individual homes.

Here are a few factors that can affect the price of a home:

Economy. Perhaps the most influential of all the factors is the economy. When the economy is in a recession, people have less money to spend. Because of this, they may not be able to meet their mortgage payments, and their homes could possibly go into foreclosure. If this happens, the home will likely sell for much less than it would have prior to the economic downturn.

 Location. Another important factor in the price of a home is its location.
