What are you hankering for when you buy a home? Good space and great bones? You bet. Nice neighborhoods and highly rated schools? Check. Maybe even some awesome shiplap design notes? No prob, “Fixer Upper” obsessives! But when you put all of those different factors into a grinder, there’s one thing that comes out the other side: price appreciation.
After all, your home is your biggest investment and most significant asset. Is it increasing in value—and if so, by how much?
