Equity Appreciation = Family Wealth

Over the next 5 years, home prices are projected to appreciate 3.64%/year on average and to grow by 18.4% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics’ most recent Home Price Expectation Survey.

What does this mean for homeowners and their equity position?

Let’s assume a couple purchased a $250,000 home in January. If we look at only the projected increase in the price of that home, how much equity will they earn over the next 5 years?

Since industry experts predict home prices will increase by 5.0% in 2017 alone, these homeowners will have gained $12,500 in equity in just 1 year.

Over a five-year period, their equity will increase by nearly $49,000! This figure does not even take into account their monthly principal mortgage payments. In many cases, home equity is one of the largest portions of a family’s overall net worth.
