The economy is assumed to be the greatest factor affecting real estate appreciation. After all, there are some issues on a national level that alter your house's value: unemployment, mortgage rates, consumer confidence, and more. But the most influential issues that determine your house's value are specific to the local Vidalia economy and residential market.
