class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Property appreciation simply refers to an increase in a property\u2019s value over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a property is purchased at \u20b980 lakh and is later valued at \u20b91 crore, its nominal value has increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the reasons behind that increase matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices can move because of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved connectivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New employment

be treated as an automatic feature of owning real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
