How Rising Home Prices Affect You as a Homeowner

April 04, 20251 min read

Thinking about selling your home? You might be sitting on more equity than you realize!

Over the past few years, home prices have skyrocketed—far beyond the typical 2-5% annual appreciation. In 2021-2022, prices jumped 20% or more in many areas, creating a huge increase in homeowner equity.

What This Means for You

If you’ve owned your home for a few years, chances are, you’ve built up a significant amount of wealth through home appreciation. Here’s why that matters:

✅ You might be able to upgrade sooner than expected. If you’ve outgrown your home, rising equity could help you afford a bigger, better space.

✅ You could sell for top dollar. Even though the market is stabilizing, prices remain strong, and demand is still there—especially for well-maintained homes.

✅ You have options. Whether you want to reinvest in real estate, pay off debt, or take advantage of a seller-friendly market, your equity gives you financial flexibility.
