Appreciation Tracking Advice

[David Cherkowsky]

Hi All,

I'm looking for the easiest way to track appreciation on an annual basis. I am closing on my first property in the next few weeks and I am trying to get my spreadsheet setup for tracking ROI and other metrics. Is there an easy way to track natural appreciation? I assume zestimate or other online estimating tools are inaccurate. Are comparables the best way to track this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
