Your Equity Position

Over the next five years, home prices are expected to appreciate 3.24%/year on average and to grow by 21.4% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics’ most recent Home Price Expectation Survey.

What does this mean for you and your home equity ?

Let’s assume a couple purchases and closes on a $250,000 home in January 2017. 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 predictions are that home prices will increase by 4.0% this year alone, the homeowners will have gained over $10,000 in equity in just one year.

Over a five-year period, their equity will increase by over $43,000! Remember, this figure does not even consider their monthly principal reduction when they make their mortgage payment. In many cases, home equity is one of the largest segments of a family’s overall net worth.
