Home prices vary depending on the condition of the property, the size of the home, and, of course, the location. For example, apartments and homes located in historic town centers tend to be more expensive than in other areas of the town, partly because of their proximity to amenities and partly because of their higher rental value. Moreover, properties in need of extensive renovation are typically priced much lower than those that are in move-in condition.
