Appreciation Rechner — Formel

Projecting Property Appreciation

Property appreciation is the increase in value over time, typically modeled using compound growth.

Formula

Future Value = Current Value x (1 + Annual Rate)^Years

Historical Context

  • US residential real estate has averaged roughly 3-4% annual appreciation over the long term
  • Individual markets and time periods vary significantly
  • Appreciation is not guaranteed and can be negative in some years

    • Lösungsbeispiel

    A $350,000 property appreciates at 3.5% annually for 10 years.

    1. Growth factor: (1 + 0.035)^10 = 1.4106
    2. Future value: $350,000 x 1.4106 = $493,706
    3. Total appreciation: $493,706 - $350,000 = $143,706
    4. Total appreciation percentage: 41.1%
