If you started with a typical 20 percent down payment, your initial investment in your home would have been around $41,000. As of April, data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service shows that Seattle’s median house price has shot up to $722,250—an all-time high. If you sold a home today for $722,250 that you bought in 1997 for $205,000, you would end up with about $568,000 after paying real estate agents (6% – $43,335), excise tax (1.78% – $12,856), and the remaining balance of your 30-year mortgage ($98,000). That’s a 1,285 percent return on your initial investment. Nice! Now let’s see how that stacks up to $AMZN
