Clarity in searching

I am currently surveying the NC market for a 3bd 2 ba home that is predicted to appreciate over time. 

However Id like to know what are some data points and minimum criteria you look at in a market (like a 1% job growth YoY) to feel informed on your decision making process

also if you go to the area what are some things you look for physically that would be a good sign
