Many factors affect the value that a single property may command if it is placed for sale on the real estate market.

There are factors involved but we will look into 6 major factors, in general, there are essential components that make the largest variations in what price a given house may receive and bids that will be offered.

The Government

Lastly, the government plays a significant role in the real estate industry. The government can modify rules or policies which may affect or have an impact on the real estate sector.
