Michael Jordan has just arranged to purchase an $825,000 vacation home in the Bahamas with a 20% down-payment. The loan has an interest rate of 5.4% (compounded monthly) and a 30-year term. If the value of the home is expected to appreciate 2% per year, what will his equity in the house be in 8 year?
Price of Vacation Home = $825,000
Loan amount after down-payment = Price*(1-% of down-payment)
= $825,000*(1-0.20)
Loan amount =$660,000
- Calculating the Loan Balance after 8 years:-
Where, P = Loan Amount = $660,000
r = Periodic Interest rate = 5.4%/12 =0.45%
n= no of periods = 30 years*12 = 360
m = no of payments already made = 8 years*12 = 96
Outstanding Balance of Loan after 8 years = $571,856.86
- Calculating the Value of House after 8 years:-
Value of House = Purchase price*(1+Increase % per year)^8
Value of House = $825,000*(1+0.02)^8
Value of House after 8 years = $966,618.99
- Home Equity after 8 years = Value of House after 8 years - Outstanding Balance of Loan after 8 years
= $966,618.99 - $571,856.86
= $394,762.13
So, his equity in the house be in 8 year is $394,762.13
