This rating does not imply that purchasing a house or apartment in the evaluated city will necessarily result in significant price growth. There are certainly cities with lower ratings that may still offer greater potential for price appreciation. However, the cities that achieve high ratings excel due to a combination of multiple factors. Their strong performance reflects a balance of economic stability, quality of life, and overall investment attractiveness, rather than being solely based on price growth potential.
