There are many factors that contribute to home equity and home prices in a given area, including job security, access to education and health care, commute time, housing density and availability, taxes and regulations. However, one of the most important factors affecting home equity and home prices is interest rates. When interest rates are low (as they have been for much of this decade), it makes it more affordable for people to buy homes outright or to borrow money against their homes to finance purchases. Conversely, when interest rates are high (as they were during much of the 2000s), it becomes more expensive for people to borrow money against their homes or to buy homes outright. As a result, areas with higher home equity and home prices tend to have lower interest rates than areas with lower home equity and home prices.

In general, areas with higher incomes tend to have higher home values than areas with lower incomes. However, there are exceptions to this rule – especially in neighborhoods near major universities or hospitals where there is an influx of high-income professionals who may be willing to pay more for housing because they believe that it will remain valuable over time (i.e., "homes above their heads"). In addition, some neighborhoods within cities can experience significant price appreciation even if they have low incomes relative to other parts of the city (due primarily to increased demand from young professionals who want easy access to nightlife and cultural attractions).
