Suppose you purchase a new home for $75,000, making a down payment of 20% and taking out a mortgage on the balance

What is the return on your investment in your home if one year later the price of the home increases by 5%? What if the price of the home decreases by 5%?


If the price of the home increases by 5%, the return on investment is $3,750 / $15,000 = 0.25, or 25%.
If the price of the home decreases by 5%, the return on investment is -$3,750 / $15,000 = -0.25, or -25%.
