Valuing Your Home for Wealth Planning

 

If you’re like most Americans, your home may be one of the largest components of your wealth portfolio. And, like most of us, it’s easier to track the valuation of your financial and banking assets than it is the value of your home. Yet, shouldn’t the value of your home be a known quantity when analyzing your total wealth?

 

If you’re a homeowner in Maricopa County, Arizona, you’ve been treated to some of the country’s best appreciation rates during the past decade.

 

For instance, the average annual sales price of homes in Fountain Hills in 2011 was $360,630. Only 10 years later in 2021, the average sale price of homes was $583,423, an increase of 62%. In 2021 alone, the appreciation rate was 18.72%, and in 2020 it was 22.68%. That’s a substantial increase in just a short time.

 

If you’re wondering what your valuation is, there are plenty of online valuation models. Yet an online model could never be accurate simply based on local algorithms, especially if you have a custom home in a view-oriented area. Sound familiar?
