How can my property value increase if I have done nothing to it?
Value increases can vary based on a number of reasons. As a general rule, most people sell their property for more than they paid for it, assuming that average and adequate maintenance has been done over the years. This happens when the market supports a higher price due to the supply and demand for that type of property. The demand for a certain type of house, a home in a certain location, or a property within a certain price range are all factors that can cause value to go up, even though no additions or major remodeling have been completed on that property.
