1. What is Property Price Increase?

Property price increase measures how much the value of a property has grown over time, expressed as a percentage of the original price. It's a key metric for real estate investors, homeowners, and market analysts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage increase formula:

Where:

• New Price — Current property value
• Old Price — Original purchase price or previous valuation

Explanation: The formula calculates the difference between new and old prices, then shows what percentage that difference is of the original price.

3. Importance of Price Increase Calculation

Details: Calculating property price increases helps assess investment performance, determine capital gains taxes, make selling decisions, and evaluate market trends.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both prices in the same currency without commas. The old price should be the original purchase price or previous valuation, while the new price is the current value.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's considered a good price increase?
A: This varies by market, but typically 3-5% annually is considered healthy in stable markets. Hot markets may see higher increases.

Q2: Should I include renovation costs in the old price?
A: No, renovations typically increase the new value, not the original purchase price. Keep the old price as the actual purchase price.

Q3: How does this differ from ROI?
A: Percentage increase looks purely at price change, while ROI considers all costs (purchase, improvements, taxes) and income generated.

Q4: What if my property decreased in value?
A: The calculator will show a negative percentage, indicating a price decrease rather than an increase.

Q5: How often should I calculate price increases?
A: For investments, annually is common. For personal homes, every 2-3 years or when considering selling.
