Let's take a look at one possibility for a median priced home in N. Virginia. Assume a young couple bought and settled on a $400,000 home this year in January. If we look at the forecast increase in the price of that house, how much will their home equity increase in 5 years?
Many experts predict that home prices will increase by 5.0% in 2018, (this will vary with region of the country as well as
your particular neighborhood) be sure to consult a real estate professional in your area for values; in the example above, the new homeowners will have gained $20,000 in equity in just one year.
Over a five-year period, their anticipated equity will increase by over $77,000! This figure does not even take into account their monthly principal mortgage payments. In this example with a $320,000 30 year fixed rate mortgage this family will also have over $28,000 equity build up from paying down the principal of the mortgage. It's important to remember that in most cases, home equity is the largest portion of a family’s overall net worth. Is it any wonder why a home owners average net worth is approximately 45 times greater than a renters?
