High Return on Real Estate Investment

Real estate usually appreciates 4% - 5% annually. This is a national average and does not take into account the following factors:

Your particular community or state real estate appreciation

Although the national average of real estate appreciation is 5%, your particular property may appreciate more or less. Where you live has a big impact on the appreciation of your property. For example, properties in growing areas may appreciate 10% - 20% while properties in other areas might appreciate only 1%.

Fluctuations in the real estate market

Like other markets, the real estate market also fluctuates. High growth periods could yield 10% - 20% whereas moderate growth periods may just yield 5%.
