Rising in value is not in any way the to determine the best houses to buy. A house is not an investment, its shelter and provides no income. Therefore every other measure of the house is more important

Typically the value of the house will rise over time.

May not be the best investment but it is an investment while providing shelter.

Look at it positively ... are the people buying another bigger house around the corner? Find out where they are moving and you might have a better idea of the reason. Some people love the night time noises or nature. Others feel differently. Find out "where" they are moving for your clues. No one makes money buying and selling within a year - that's never the reason

The Truth? Your House Is Not An Investment - Money Under 30

Stop Thinking of Your House as an Investment

just because the price moves up and or down, does not make something an investment

With the number of homes being built around there, the resale will be competing against builder incentives etc. I don;t follow the logic of this being a "deal".
6 months you shouldn't plan on making a cent after commission. Cmon man
