You may be sitting on a real estate empire and not even know it.

Are you aware of the value of your home and what it can mean for your financial future? Let me tell you a story about one of my clients who bought her first home in 2009 for $87,000. Fast forward to today, and homes in her neighborhood are selling for $400,000. She was able to turn that initial investment into three passive income-producing properties by taking equity out of her home.

This got me thinking, what could the rest of my clients do with the equity in their homes? So, I did some research and found that home prices in Western New York have skyrocketed in the past five years. In Buffalo, the average price jumped 70% from 2018 to 2022, and similar price jumps occurred in other areas like Hamburg and Alma.

“Are you aware of the value of your home and what it can mean for your financial future?”

If you're curious about the value of your home, I have a tool on my website that can give you an idea based on public records and your neighborhood's market trends. It also has some interesting features that can help you explore your options based on the equity you have in your home. For example, you can see what it might take to buy an investment property by putting 25% down or what it would look like if you kept your current home and rented it out on Airbnb.

The tool even uses Airbnb statistics to tell you the demand in your neighborhood and how much you could potentially make annually. It's a fantastic tool that can help you see the potential value of your home beyond just a place to live.

Don't hesitate to call or email if you have any questions about your home value or equity. It's important to understand the potential of your investment and how it can contribute to your financial future.
