FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is 3–4% a realistic appreciation rate?

Long-run US home price appreciation has historically averaged in that range nationally, though it varies widely by market and time period.

What closing costs should buyers expect?

Typically 2–5% of the purchase price, covering items like loan origination, title insurance, appraisal, and recording fees.

Does this account for renovations or market downturns?

No — it's a straight-line projection assuming a constant appreciation rate, which real markets rarely follow exactly.
