Location in a community - Proximity to schools and work also have a huge affect on most home buyers' choices. So those regions generally appreciate, or hold their value, best.

Prior home sales - How quickly are houses selling? Are sellers having to discount much? Some information can often be obtained from public records, but a good agent with access to the local MLS will often be able to provide a more complete picture.

The appreciation history - Is the community considered desirable because of its location or affordability? Have home prices risen or declined over the past 5-10 years?

Economic factors - Have businesses moved into or away from an area? Are local businesses hiring? Is there a good mix of jobs in an area, or does it rely on just one industry? Each of these factors plays a role.
