Real Estate Math

A Vermont home appreciated 8% per year for 3 years. If the original price was $250,000, what is the approximate current value?

A$310,000
B$314,928✓ Correct
C$315,000
D$260,000

Explanation

Year 1: $250,000 × 1.08 = $270,000. Year 2: $270,000 × 1.08 = $291,600. Year 3: $291,600 × 1.08 = $314,928. Compounding produces $314,928 after 3 years at 8% annual appreciation.
