A simplified projection based on a constant growth rate and your loan terms. Real property prices rise and fall year to year — this shows the long-term shape, not a guarantee.

Save your analysis and see property-specific cash flow, equity and return insights — then test how changes to rent, rates, expenses and value affect the outcome.

How equity builds over time

Equity is the slice of the property you actually own — its value minus what you still owe. Over the long term it grows from two directions at once.

Value growth

Property value − starting value

If a property grows in value over time, that increase belongs to you, not the bank. A property that rises from $750k to $1.2m over 15 years has added $450k of equity through growth alone — even before you've paid a cent off the loan.

Loan paydown

Starting loan − remaining loan

With a principal & interest loan, each repayment shrinks the balance you owe, so more of the property becomes yours every month. On an interest-only loan the balance stays flat, and equity grows from value alone.

Equity = value − loan

In the chart above, the top of the stacked area is the projected property value. The grey band is what you still owe, and the teal band is your equity. As the years pass the value line climbs and the loan band narrows, so the teal equity band widens — that widening gap is the wealth the property is building for you.

Why the growth rate matters so much

Growth compounds, so small changes in the annual rate make a big difference over 10 to 20 years. That's also why this is an estimate: real property values rise and fall from year to year, and no one can promise a steady rate. Try a few conservative and optimistic figures to see the range of outcomes rather than banking on a single number.
