There are many factors that can effect the prices of houses. The factors include the location of the building, convenience of the building, and the facilities near the building. The location affects the prices because in certain locations, it is more convenient compare to other places. Buildings located next to the main roads and in big cities tend to have higher value than buildings next to a little path in country sides. The location provides convenience so does the facilities near the buildings. Train stations and other transportation centers can make lives there easier, thus give a higher price. Other facilities such as schools or hospitals also affect the prices of the buildings near them because they bring convenience. There are also other factors that will change the value of a building. One is that businessmen raise the prices intentionally in order to make more money, but I think this one will not last long because the government might interfere them or  the prices will drop because no one is buying them.
