You would like to purchase a vacation home when you retire 6 years from now. The current cost of the homes that interest you is $298,526; however, you expect their price to rise at 3.16% per year for the next 6 years. How much must you save each year in nominal terms (the same amount each year) for 6 years, starting next year, to just be able to pay for the vacation home if you earn 3.82% APR (compounded annually) on your investments?
Cost of home in 6 years = 298,526(1.0316)6 = $359,790.89

Using TVM Calculation,
PMT = [PV = 0, FV = 359,790.89, N = 6, I = 0.0382]
