Frequently asked questions
- What is a realistic appreciation rate?
- The long-run US national average is around 3–4% per year. Hot coastal markets have historically exceeded 6%, while some rust-belt markets have lagged inflation. Use your local market's historical data for a better estimate.
- Does this account for renovations or maintenance?
- No — this is a simple price-appreciation model. Major renovations can add value but typically return 60–80 cents per dollar spent.
