Price Appreciation Study

A Look at Local Home Value Growth Since 2012

Since 2012, home values have grown around 10% each year, resulting in significant returns in pricing. Below are some examples of actual homes sold in 2012 and again in 2015, with no remodel or significant improvements in between. We pulled these examples to show you actual pound-for-pound market data versus the statistical percentages often quoted in market updates. We think these examples are pretty telling and quite exciting!

We hope these examples provide you insight on the increase in home values in your area, and how they might pertain to you. Please contact any of our agents if you have any questions, or would like a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) on your home.
