1. Some county towns are located in areas with convenient transportation and good economic development, such as being close to big cities or traffic trunk lines, which will make the property prices in county towns relatively high. Some counties have invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction, such as highways, railways and airports. The construction of these facilities will attract more people and investment, and then push up the real estate price. Zunyi's urban status is higher than Xishui's, but its energy resources are not as good as Xishui's. Zunyi has developed transportation, many railway trunk lines, and inconvenient transportation in Xishui.

2. The government has given great support to the development of the county, such as setting up special economic zones and science and technology parks in the county to attract more enterprises and talents to invest and live in this area, and house prices will rise accordingly. The environmental quality of some county towns will be better, such as fresh air and abundant water resources, which will also make people more willing to buy real estate in county towns, thus pushing up housing prices. The government strongly supports the revitalization of Xishui, but Zunyi does not.
