Limitations of Future Home Value Calculator

The predicted future value will change if there are changes in the market conditions, broad macroeconomic changes, some real estate development in the area that could make the house prices rise or fall faster than the expected annual growth rate used in the calculator.

There are plenty of variables that can change the future value of your home, but the Future Home Value Calculator should provide a good estimate to work with.
