Home equity is a major factor in determining home prices. In most cases, when a homeowner sells their home, they will receive a percentage of the sale price that represents their equity in the property. Home prices are also affected by local market conditions and fluctuations in interest rates.

Over the past few years, home values have increased significantly in the 28609 zip code of Catawba. Between 2012 and 2016, average home values increased by 27%. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in demand for homes rather than an increase in available homes. Over this same period of time, interest rates remained relatively stable which helped to support prices.

There are several factors that could potentially cause prices to decline in the 28609 zip code of Catawba. A decrease in demand for homes could lead to a decrease in home values as buyers may be less willing to pay higher prices for properties that are not likely to appreciate over time. Additionally, if interest rates rise significantly from their current levels there could be a significant impact on home values as borrowers may be unable to afford high mortgage payments at current rates.
