    worth of the house when the price rises 5% annually on average

    Fv = Pv (1 + r) ^n

    where Pv = $ 220000, rate = 5 / 100 = 0.05 and n number of years = 5

    Fv = $ 220000 (1 + 0.05) ⁵

    but it was estimated that it will rise by 3.5% annually

    Fv for 3.5% = $ 220000 (1 + 0.035) ⁵

    the amount the house will worth less compared to 5 % growth = $ 220000 (1 + 0.05) ⁵ - ($ 220000 (1 + 0.035) ⁵) = $ 19490.96
