The property appreciation rate is the percentage increase in a property’s value over a specific period, usually measured annually. It’s driven by local market demand, job growth, supply constraints, and broader economic conditions. For real estate investors, appreciation adds to long-term returns and helps grow overall net worth. While less predictable than cash flow, strong appreciation can significantly boost equity. Meridian tracks market appreciation trends in our target markets—like the Memphis suburbs—so our investors can benefit from both income and value growth.
