The economy is believed to be the number one factor affecting real estate appreciation. Naturally, mortgage rates, unemployment, business growth, government programs and several other national factors have a measurable change your property's value. But the most important factors that figure your home's value are specific to the local San Diego economy and housing market.
 Location in a community - Convenient access to schools, work and amenities like shopping, restaurants and entertainment is important to a lot of buyers and will greatly influence home values. So those areas often appreciate, or carry their value consistently, year to year.
Recent sales - Your agent should give you reports on the recent home sales in the regions that you're asking about. You'll want to know average time on market, selling versus listing price and more.
The appreciation history - Is the community considered desirable because of its location or affordability? Have property prices increased or decreased over the past 5-10 years?
Local economy - Is there a good combination of jobs in an area, or does it rely upon just one industry? Have companies moved into or away from an area? Are local businesses hiring? Each of these pieces plays a part.
