Your Home’s Value Has Skyrocketed – What Does That Mean for You?

Over the past few years, we’ve all heard the headlines—home prices keep going up. But have you ever stopped to think about what that actually means for your own home?

If you’ve been wondering whether now is the right time to sell, cash out, or move up, this could be your chance to take advantage of the massive appreciation we’ve seen in recent years. The big question is: how much has your home’s value really changed? Let’s break it down.

The Rapid Rise of Home Prices in the Last 5 Years

Historically, home prices tend to rise 2-5% per year—a steady, predictable increase. But in 2021-2022, the market went into overdrive.

At its peak, home prices surged by over 20% nationally!

Why? Simply put, there were way more buyers than homes available, which sent prices skyrocketing. While things have settled a bit, homeowners are still benefiting from these record-breaking price gains—and that includes you!

If you’ve owned your home for the past 5 years, it’s likely gained way more value than it normally would. And that means a lot more equity for you—equity that you can put to work toward your next move.

How Much More Is Your Home Worth?

According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), home prices have increased by nearly 60% nationally in just the past five years.

Think about that for a second—a 60% increase means that a home worth $500,000 just a few years ago could now be valued closer to $800,000!

And if you’ve been in your home even longer, you get to stack that recent appreciation on top of years of steady growth.

That’s real wealth sitting in your home—equity you can use to move up, downsize, invest, or simply cash in.

Worried About Buying Your Next Home? Think Again.

A lot of homeowners hesitate to sell because they’re worried about buying their next home at today’s prices or interest rates. But here’s the thing—your home’s appreciation might be the solution.

✅ That massive equity boost could help you put down a much larger down payment, lowering your monthly payment and offsetting higher interest rates.
✅ You could tap into your equity to buy your next home with a smaller mortgage.
✅ If you’re thinking about downsizing, you may be able to pay cash for your next home and eliminate a mortgage altogether!

While it’s exciting to hear that home values have shot up, you’re probably wondering: What does that actually mean for MY home?

Your specific neighborhood market conditions
Any upgrades or renovations you’ve made
The supply of homes for sale in your area
What buyers are actually willing to pay today

That’s where a local expert comes in.
