The increase in a property's market value over time.
Appreciation is the rise in a property's value over time, driven by factors like supply and demand, inflation, neighborhood improvements, and economic growth. Along with cash flow, equity buildup, and tax benefits, appreciation is one of the four primary ways real estate builds wealth. While not guaranteed, historical US real estate appreciation has averaged 3-5% per year.
Appreciation Rate = ((New Value − Original Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100Appreciation rate equals the change in value divided by the original value, expressed as a percentage.
You bought a property for $300,000 and 10 years later it's worth $440,000. Total appreciation = ($440,000 − $300,000) ÷ $300,000 = 46.7%, or roughly 3.9% per year compounded.
