Fox Chase Manhattan of Michigan Where Every Child Is A Star! 661-CUTE Uli ANSWER: Very! It is gen- erally best - in terms of long- term values - if all homes in given neighborhood are in the same price range. Professional real estate appraisers have this theory on the neighborhood's influence on home prices: A home will tend to go up in value if other homes around it are more expensive. It will tend to go down in market value if other homes in the area are in lower price range. I should also note that this is a good selling point if your home is for sale and is pric- ed below the average for your neighborhood.
